More of the seeds of God's love - Thomas Merton.
If these seeds would take root in my liberty, and if His will would grow from my freedom, I would become the love that He is, and my harvest would be His glory and my own joy.
There is nothing of coercion or pressure in this love of God. It is available and will not be held back because it is always the power that brings all things together into one united and diverse and robust creation. In the presence of such love the ways of our lives seem to change into that which loves us. It is as though we love even when there is no one watch...but rather because that is what we find fulfilling even when we could choose to be and act another way. When a community moves and sways to the beat of this love, this love is magnified and becomes quite extraordinary. That is why the community of saints in the world does greater things than the Lord of the Church. For we are many acting and living within the love of the one whose love is boundless and creates more love in, with, and under all who are free to walk in the way of God's love.
Connection: We live within the wonder of God's love that is poised to come to life among us and in us. Therefore we anticipate the day with great expectation.
Your glory shines among us, O God, and when it shines, the light of your shines within the lives of those who are raised up by you for life that is eternally reflective of your love. Amen.
