Dive into Celtic Spirituality here, and try to put into action some of these suggestions today:

When thinking of Celtic spirituality, it is often difficult to imagine its application apart from the land of its origin. There are, however, numerous ways in which we can incorporate these practices into our own lives right at home. Here are a few suggestions:

• Embark on a pilgrimage—physically or spiritually. Remember that as Sister John Miriam points out, “The thing that distinguishes a pilgrimage is what’s in your heart.” Her book,With An Eagle’s Eye: A Seven-day Sojourn in Celtic Spirituality (Ave Maria Press), offers readers an opportunity to embark on a pilgrimage without leaving home, or it can serve as a guideline for an actual pilgrimage.
• Locate a “thin place” where you feel especially connected with God and feel God’s presence. Perhaps it is at a cemetery where a loved one is buried or a favorite spot in nature.
• The Celtic Christians found solace in community living. Celebrate the communities of which you are a part, whether they be your faith community, family or friends.
• Most of us cannot begin to express ourselves artistically in ways such as the High Crosses or the Book of Kells. We can, however, use our individual talents to express our faith: Draw a picture or write a poem about something that strikes you as particularly representative of God’s beauty.

And of course the Irish Jesuits invite you into Sacred Space everyday with their great website.
