Celtic Crossing

Celtic Crossing

By: John Stuart

Searching

for a new

land over

the Irish

Sea, Columba and

some friends came

upon small Iona.

Establishing their community in

the center of pagan territory and

preaching Christianity faithfully,

Christ's Dove began advancing the

Celtic cause which combined his

holy faith with

land sea and life.

God created all.

Columba's

Holy Call

perfectly

ful-filled

the needs

of people

searching

for a God

who loves

the earth.

And all the

Celtic wonder

of Nature, Life

and Faith becomes

a prayerful path to

follow Christ today, to

preach the word teach the

truth and heal the people

"Come back to us Columba"

This is a picture poem, dedicated to St Columba, who brought the Gospel to Scotland by crossing the Irish Sea. The colors represent the rocks and pebbles that can still be found on the shore line of the sacred island of Iona.
