Spirituality - Pilgrims in Search

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;

             we are spiritual beings having a human experience."               

The above quotation from Teilhard de Chardin is at the root of much of what is offered by Thornhill Ministries.  In the journey of life, we hunger for God, hunger for meaning.  We embrace and are nourished by the wisdom of others who have been committed to the search and  have discovered a roadmap for the journey.  We form and shape a spirituality by imbibing the learnings, following the examples, assimilating the truths of life.  Through this spirituality, we find our particular way of relationship to our God, to others and to our world.

Thornhill Ministries is committed to helping pilgrims who are searching . . . by  providing laneways and pathways, stepping stones and milestones that will give meaning to the journey and bring us to our ultimate destination with integrity and wholeness.

Pilgrim Road 

Setting out on the road

I take with me the giveness of life

the fingerprint of parents who were the first

to mould me and to offer me a compass

- And on the way I climb I fall I walk I rest

I stop I stumble I catch a breath

that through reflection I come to know

how joy and pain and love and hurt

collaborate to subtly mould and shape

- I make connections.
