The day will begin with a history lesson to look at God’s presence in the world, and how the Holy Spirit comes to be with us through Creation and then directly encounter us His children.
The then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger said that in the early church the word sacrament was also used of historic events, words of scripture, and elements of religious worship. These allow the saving action achieved by Jesus Christ to show through, thus enabling God to reveal himself in history and to be present there as its true inner reality. It has also been said that we have been conditioned by definitions of sacrament that imprison the meaning of sacramental mystery within narrow limits. So now we need to open up our understanding through “sacramental imagination”.
We will use this new outlook to inform our prayer and allow a new sacramental imagination to encounter our God. We have three talks, interspaced with times of prayer on your own in the beautiful setting of the house and garden.
