Or as Diarmuid O'Murchu, one of our favorite authors and prophets of today, said in his book, Ancestral Grace: Meeting God In Our Human Story:
"We humans may make it through, but it will require a kind of rescue that creation in its planetary or cosmic dimensions can".make possible. And for that recuse to be possible, we must make radical adjustments in our lifestyles. Grace itself invites and empowers us to make the quantum leap, as Elizabeth Dreyer vividly reminds us: 'Grace demands that one live the very life one is living, but in a new key that is more free, responsible, and open to the transforming love of god. Working to change unjust social and political structures is at the heart of such a life.'
"Equipped with this ancient wisdom and the miracle of ancestral grace that defies all rationality, we stand a better chance of engaging the urgency our times require of us. We need to become much more real, live in the present, and abandon the patriarchal power games that no longer serve us well. The time is over for playing imperial games with either ourselves or our earth"Perhaps the crucial question is not whether we will make it through, but whether we can muster afresh the outrageous hope we have known so often throughout our long evolutionary journey and allow it to transform us once more in the amazing power of ancestral grace."
Let's leave the Stone Age behind and shape a "better way" forward.
