This article is an invitation to celebrate life’s relationships at all levels and stages towards the dawn of integral ecology, taking into account all forms of life, including human beings, and fulfilling the priestly ministry of praise and thanks for the excellent creation. It discusses celebrating life’s relationality from an integral ecological perspective, drawing attention to three interrelated insights: integral ecology, celebration of triadic relations, and celebration of life. The article explores how life relationships are celebrated based on the triadic realities of God-creation-human beings: rootedness to the creation, relatedness with people, and oneness in God. The author calls for celebrating integral ecology through discovering the mystery of life, gaining mastery of oneself, and becoming a mystic on the move. Being a mystic bestows a beautiful blending of mystery and mastery and promotes the celebration of life’s relationality, contents the author.
