“Today we know our universe to be ancient, large, dynamic, and interconnected. The universe is about 13.7 billion years old, with a future of billions of years before it….Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is one among billions of galaxies in the observable universe, consisting of 100 billion stars, and stretching about 100,000 light years in diameter.”
—Ilia Delio, “The Emergent Christ”
“Hoy sabemos que nuestro universo es viejo, vasto e interconectado. Tiene un pasado de unos 13.700 millones de años y un futuro de miles de millones de años por delante… Nuestra propia galaxia, la Vía Láctea, es solo una entre los miles de millones de galaxias del universo observable, que consta de 100.000 millones de estrellas y se extiende en un diámetro de unos 100.000 años luz.”
—Ilia Delio, “The Emergent Christ”
Incarnational Practice: Sky Gazing
Sit on a chair by your window, on a bench in a park or on a boulder in the woods. As you tilt your head back and face the sky let yourself be overtaken by the vastness, the infinite openness and the majesty of the cosmos. Experience the immensity of God beyond anything that you see, know and believe.
