When the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Galatia, he encouraged his listeners to let God’s gentle Spirit flow through their lives. The fruit of that would be love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.
These stories reflect on each of the fruits of the Spirit, particularly in the light of the growing global awareness of our urgent need for change in order to protect and care for our planet. The hope is that they will contribute to a deepening spiritual awareness of God’s compassion for all life on Earth, as we nurture and grow our fruits of love, respect and concern.
About the author
Catherine is an Anglican priest, and a Religious Sister in the Single Consecrated Life. God’s love and compassion for all creation has always been at the heart of her spiritual life, and she draws particular inspiration from Celtic and creation-centred spirituality and St Francis of Assisi. In different ways, she has been part of the social justice, environmental and animal welfare movements for many years, and experiences God’s presence in nature, especially. A lover of all things finned, furred and feathered, she is particularly drawn to giraffes, as they stick their necks out!
