About

Hi there !

In these changing times have you ever felt a little dated as a Christian? As if you were somehow more of the past than of the future? I once felt like that and it was a slightly fragile feeling. Where did my faith fit in with the modern world?

Then someone introduced me to the thinking of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and I moved from a 16th century spirituality to one for the 21st century and beyond. Now I feel intellectually confident about my faith, a cosmic Christian. Merci, Père Teilhard! Jesus is actually out there in front, leading evolution forward. We just have to try and keep up, by becoming ever more conscious of our role in the universe, and by learning that love alone is the evolutionary energy that will lead the Whole to its fulfilment in Christ-Omega.

My name is Hilda Geraghty, and I live in Dublin, Ireland. I have spent much of my life teaching at secondary level. I have post-graduate qualifications in Spirituality, Catechetics and Applied Youth Ministry. I am a member of the Teresian Association, a Private International Association of the Faithful, whose mission is to evangelise through education and culture.

I’ve started this website because I would like more on-the-ground Christians to know more about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ, in my view the most significant thinker of our times. Faithful to Catholic Church teaching, he nonetheless wonderfully developed it to embrace our new awareness of the awakening universe. He provides the new cosmic vision the Church needs today. I share four illustrated PowerPoints outlining his thinking, and some published articles of mine explaining why we need his vision. My hope is that you will find his whole approach as deeply inspirational as I have.

    I am also passionate about Teilhard de Chardin and love that you have created this site. I live in South Australia and follow Ilia Delio within a Chrstophany group here. Thank you for your work, for its clarity and depth. I hope to stay in touch.

    Bravo, Hilda! I found the reference to this website when I read the article you wrote on Ilia Delio’s site. You and I met many years ago – perhaps you’ll recall my name. Interesting that I fell in love with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin when I was introduced to him in my college years 1962-66 and he has been a guide for me, increasingly as I have aged and have to come to grips with needing to enter in to the “long view” which he is the Master of. Currently I am engaged in a 10 month study/prayer/faith-sharing group online in which we are using Louis Savary’s book The New Spiritual Exercises in the spirit of Teilhard de Chardin and John Haught’s book The Cosmic Vision of Teilhard de Chardin. Thank you for creating this tool to help anyone discover the treasure we have been given in T.deChardin!
