Promoting God’s Plan

Several of us Sisters of Notre Dame, along with other laity and religious sisters, listened this past Saturday to Louis Savary’s presentation on Teilhard de Chardin. Having summarized Teilhard’s ideas on evolution, Savary told how the universe—and all in it—is becoming more conscious of its divine nature. Such consciousness has taken billions of years, but we can move the process along. How? Make connections. Initiate conversation. Reach out in compassion. Deepen friendship. Strengthen your expertise. Be grateful. In all things live the God within. Eventually we’ll all connect.

Then the universe pulsing with God-life will return to God in a grand embrace.
