Celebrating Everyday Spirituality

Christ is the Union of All Created Reality

Once I dreamt that everyone in the world was climbing a big grassy hill. Smiling and chuckling and waving to one another, Earth’s citizens reached their goal. Although the goal looked like a big sun with a smiling face (like a cartoon), it was alive and welcoming. I knew it represented God welcoming us at the end of time. Everyone, happy and excited, was streaming toward Christ. With one last glance up the hill, I saw the Sun wink at me. As my dream ended I felt all creatures had become one with the “Sun” named Christ. I believe one day all creation will become the Christ. I imagine the sounds of laughter, the delight in reunion, the feeling of completion. I pray that theologians, scientists, scholars, and people’s dreams further our understanding of Christ as the union of all created reality.
