On the First Sunday of Creation time we begin with ourselves. For our good intentions to come to fruition we must take responsibility for our heart. In Mark’s Gospel we read: “This people honours me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me”
James reminds us not to forget the self image which is a mirror to our actions. Therefore, do not deceive the heart, but nurture it in order that we might care for the whole of the creation. This begins with a contemplative seeing of what is there, not just what we expect. Read Richard Rohr – ‘Just this’
