I will ponder with deep affection how much God our Lord has done for me,...and consequently how he, the same Lord, desires to give me even his very self,...and consider what I on my part ought in all reason and justice to offer and give to the Divine Majesty, namely all my possessions, and myself along with them.
(Sp.Ex.234)

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in him.
(1 Jn 4:15-16)

Reflections

Arms open,
Reaching beyond borders.

Congregations
Circle the red center.
Mission churches
Edge the great plains of creation.

Darkness shades
Only one wall each.
But the light of the Son
Colors the whole composition.

The body of Christ embraces
New horizons of hope
As God labors
Through those who live in love.
