Illegitimate interests always cause suffering and death.
But tragedy and violence are powerful catalysts for resurrection and the future
that resides in God. It is Life, not
Death that God desires and brings into form through loving hearts anticipating
with patience, faith and trust.
The emergence of interiority and advent of this one unique woman
opens our hearts to welcome God, birthing the Christ that is emergent and
incomplete in our own lives. We are united in the discovery of God in the torn
places, the openings in our world. This
is the womb of possibilities. Tomorrow
is on the way. The promised land is near even though we are experiencing
suffering, fears and limitations.
How can we discover this promised land? For us it is not possible except with
God. It happens within and beyond what
we take to be the real. Our powers are finite. When we recognize that, a gracious sustaining
force transforms our incapacity into new capacity.
