One Great Spirit ... One great human family

Morning: Psalms 56, 57; Isaiah 51:17-23; Galatians 4:1-11

Eve of Presentation: Psalms 113, 122; Romans 8:14-21

Christian history is marred by a profound error. Some Christians assume that theirs is the only way to know God. This deep misunderstanding has led Christians to do terrible things. They have mocked, disparaged and erased the spiritual wisdom of so-called ‘unbelievers’, often with violent and shameful persecutions. Yet Gitche Manitou (Great Spirit) of the Anishinaabek, first people of this land, is One and the same ‘Spirit of God’ about whom St. Paul writes to the Romans: “All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.” One Great Spirit ... One great human family.
