Tending the Holy

"Every creature is a word of God." — Meister Eckhart

The Universe Story is the continuing unfolding of God's creative love. Each of us has our own story which carries a unique bit of the divine spark and impels us to be co-creators in this on-going mystery.

Our life story is both shaped by our experiences and also shapes the stories of those around us and ultimately the Universe Story itself.

Within this context the role of the spiritual companion or guide is to create the space in which another can discover and bring forth their own story.

Patricia Carter's own story is set within the context of the Roman Catholic Christian story and is strongly influenced by her resonance with the Universe Story and Ignatian Spirituality.

Her life experiences include several occupations including payroll clerk, executive director, and co-owner of a print shop. She has been involved in graphic design work for over 20 years.

She shares her home with her 21-year-old son and his American Bulldog, Samantha.

Her spiritual ministry experiences include director of the RCIA, involvement in Christian Life Community where she has facilitated and/or guided groups of various sizes in retreat days and workshops, involvement in Bridges Foundation as a prayer companion and mentor, and she has coordinated several workshops on Ignatian Spirituality and the Universe Story. She has also written a pamphlet for Ligouri Press on Small Christian Communities and has authored numerous articles for Harvest, the quarterly publication of Christian Life Community.
