Station 1: The Creation of the Universe (Big Bang)

Before reading this poem, take a moment to tune into the Spirit.

Get comfortable where you are sitting. Feel free to light a candle or close your eyes. 

Take a few deep breaths and focus on the movement of the air gently expanding and contracting your lungs. 

Be still and know that this is the Spirit rushing through you.

When you are ready, begin by Meditating on the words of this Poem

I believe in one God, 

a community onto themself, 

three aspects in perfect agreement:

like thought, word, and deed;

or knowledge, experience, and being. 

By maternal nature, the Originator birthed all things into existence.

Time, Space, our entire Continuum, all of reality is conscious because of this; every point filled!

By paternal nature, Divine Guidance forms Creation; obedient to the word spoken.

Evolving and becoming what it was destined to be; framed by His will.

All things held together in Him, and by Him, and for Him.

The first Incarnation.

Take with You

The Incarnation is the central belief of Christianity. It is the belief that God is expressed physically in our world. During the Advent season, we await the Incarnation of God in Jesus. This season is shrouded in the expectation of God made Human. But the first instance of “word coming into flesh” is found when God creates the Cosmos (Genesis 1; Romans 1:20). What God spoke was uncovered and revealed. 

When we think of Jesus’s birth, we often say “Jesus was born to give up his life”; as though the Son was the only one who had to sacrifice anything. But, here, we see at the very beginning, God gave of God’s self, of their essence to create all things. 

“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”

(John 1:3)

(Genesis 1, John 1)
