S3:10 EP35:The Sacramental Imagination

What does it mean to have a sacramental worldview, to believe in the sacramental imagination? We'll explore the convergence of the physical and the spiritual, how our lives can gain deep meaning by marking time with an understanding of eternity. Katie shares a story of her own personal experience with the sacramental imagination, during a difficult start to Lent. We'll discuss Flannery O'Connor, the Secret Garden, Tolkien, Kristin Lavransdatter... 'Rebel against the dying of the light!' An encouraging episode, helping us to see the magic in the mundane, the wonder in the everyday - a chance to 'lift the veil' and see beyond.    www.bornofwonder.com Instagram @bornofwonder   Leave a review for the podcast on iTunes and leave a star rating on Spotify!    Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bornofwonder?fan_landing=true     Mentioned in this episode -   Frederick Beuchner  "Here is the world.
