‟ This earth indeed is the very Body of God, and it is from this body that we are born, live, suffer, and resurrect to eternal life. Either all is God's Great Project, or we may rightly wonder whether anything is God's Great Project. One wonders if we humans will be the last to accept this.

-
‟ God created us for love, for union, for forgiveness and compassion and, yet, that has not been our storyline. That has not been our history.
