IHM: Nature Stations

Nature Stations: A Meditative Walk

New IHM booklet offers a
meditative walk with nature

The new IHM Nature Stations booklet, a gem of education, reflection, poetry, images and ritual, has just been published and released for sale.

The beautiful, 30-page, four-color booklet is an invitation to spend time with the wonder, beauty and vulnerability of creation. Nature Stations, A Meditative Walk, links the universe story, Earth story, our Christian belief story and our personal stories to nurture an awareness of the interconnectedness of all creation with God, Source of all Being.

Written by B. J. Schlachter, IHM Associate, and Margaret (Peggy) Schmidt, IHM, each of the nine nature stations includes a descriptive text, a poem by an IHM, an image, reflection questions and simple rituals. The authors say, "We believe nature can heal us, transform us, and connect us more deeply with God as Holy Mystery. Today, planetary survival challenges us as humans to change and make sacrifices for the good of the whole Earth community. God's kin-dom of love, justice, and peace - as taught and lived by Jesus - requires us to respect and to protect all of creation. Being a living memory of Jesus challenges us to be lovers of all creation."
