All Things Hold Together: Held with the Saints
"In the ancient Celtic imagination, this was considered to be a 'thin time' when the veil between heaven and earth grew more transparent and the wisdom of our ancestors was closer to us. We are reassured that we are not alone, that we share the world with a great 'cloud of witnesses' and 'communion of saints' just across the veil. This season is a threshold space and in thresholds we are closer to the other world which is always here." Christine Valters Paintner
Scripture References: Colossians 1:1-12, Psalms 97:9-12
