Moving Towards Wholeness

by Leave a Comment

This is a deep and thoughtful personal faith statement written by Rev Cathie Lambert from WA, a framing of a path to wholeness.

Principles for Moving Towards Wholeness

All of life is good and sacred.
I choose to seek the Divine in all things.

Life is a mystery and that I will never be able to fully grasp or understand.
I choose to rest in the mystery.

My calling is to be true to the person I was created to be.
I choose to live with integrity.

All people have the ability to love and to harm.
I choose to love.

Pain and suffering are part of life and the journey to wholeness.
I choose to honour my woundedness.

Transformation and wholeness are gifts available to all.
I choose to be a light in dark places.

All people are born to be in relationship.
I choose to be vulnerable and allow others to touch my life.

Each new experience we have, person we meet or place we visit moulds and shapes us.
I choose to begin each day with new eyes.

The Divine chooses to be incarnate.
I choose to live an embodied life.

Here are two mobile devices apps for daily devotions, added to my Pinterest page on Mobile Apps for Ministry. Both are produced by the Anglican Board of Mission in Australia.

“Into the Desert” is a 40 day spiritual journey designed for Lent. but it can be undertaken any time of year.

“These Lent resources have a particular focus on Australian landscape, history and writing, Aboriginal reconciliation and the long Christian tradition of desert-shaped theology.”

Available for both Apple iOS and Android devices.

“Into the Desert” is also available in print and there is an accompanying optional simple set of small group reflection questions available here.

“Deep Calls to Deep” is an post-Easter journey exploring faith.

“Deep Calls to Deep is a 46 day journey into the mystery of the cross that begins in Holy Week and ends on Ascension Day (but it is suitable for any time of the year).”

Available for both Apple iOS and Android devices.
