Holy Spirit is our champion, and we can be champions for the Divine, too! Join Padre Paul, Monk George Lopez, and Acolyte Karen Rippens as they discuss being champions of the Holy Spirit in all its meanings: for healing, restoration, freedom, and more.
About our Presenters
Monk George Lopez
George Lopez is a monk with Celebrating Life Ministries and is also blessed to be a part of the music ministry for CLM. He has been a spiritual seeker since a very young age. God has gifted him graciously with multiple creative abilities; music, sewing, cooking.
In the act of creating he finds some of his deepest and most direct connection to God. Life has taught him that in the end, connection and the path to God is what matters most.
Karen Rippens is an acolyte and a student in the Celebrating Life Spiritual Education Program. She began her spiritual search at the age of 12 after a powerful epiphany. For many decades she studied the Buddhist and Hindu traditions that spoke to this experience and her intuition. The teachings of the New Testament have tied all of this together and brought her full circle back to the Judeo-Christian tradition in which she was raised. Retired now and living with illness, she increasingly devotes her life to meditation and service: the mission of prayer, the practice of blessing.
