Tree of Life: Celtic Prayers to the Universal Christ

By Ray Simpson

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything. . . . He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

-Colossians 1:15-17

Like a vast, ever-growing Tree of Life, Christ-the expression of Divine love-expands endlessly throughout the universe. This is the perspective of ancient Celtic spirituality, and it is this concept that Ray Simpson reveals in his poem-prayers. Inspired by the traditional Celtic style of prayer, he gives words to our individual relationships with God. He speaks of the wonder, beauty, and love revealed through the Universal Christ, the Tree of Life that includes all that is. Each and everything in creation is sacred, for everything is a word of God-and we too are called to be God's words to our world.
