We are called to embody a way of being that rejects domination, exploitation, and supremacy. Instead, we embrace humility, service, and self-giving love. This challenges us to let go of outdated views of power and authority rooted in control and coercion. The so-called weakness and foolishness of God are greater than the so-called power and wisdom of human regimes. The vision set before us is one of pure light, free from violence, exclusion, or hostility. Living this out means choosing compassion over conquest and service over self-interest. It calls us to seek solidarity with others, fostering peace and understanding. This is not a lesser way but a higher and deeper understanding of what it means to live with integrity and purpose. Together, we strive to align our minds and actions with this vision of love and service.
May we embody the profound
wisdom of humility and love,
living in a way that surpasses
the power and wisdom of the world.
(inspired by Brian D. McLaren, The Great Spiritual Migration)
