As humans, our life works when we come out of our center, when we are in touch with who we are at our deepest depth, and at the very deepest part of that is where we connect with God, where God is calling us into being, and where God is manifesting through us. To the extent that we can be in touch with that, and manifest that, that's what we bring into our actions, and then bring into the world. And our world so deeply needs it. So obviously, we look around, read the newspaper, we see the immense need that we can come to a world and bring it love, and forgiveness, and trust, and generosity, and caring, in place of the greed, and the selfishness, and the unforgiving, and the resentment, and so on, that is so seemingly native to our fallen human nature. So we want to bring this God presence from the depths of our being into a world that is crying out for it. Abbott Joseph Boyle |
