Divine love is the foundation of all existence. Everything that is, from the smallest particle to the most expansive galaxy, emerges from this source. This love is constant, holding and sustaining life. Our challenge is to awaken to it. When we open ourselves to grace, we experience a shift in perception. We see the world more clearly, recognizing the presence of love in all things. This constant tension between sin and grace in our lived experience doesn’t mean, however, that they are equal partners in determining our destiny. Yet, when we are unaware of this grace, we fall into patterns of fear, pride, and despair. These patterns distort reality and lead to harm. Despite this, grace remains. It is not earned or deserved—it simply is. Our work is to stay open to this truth, allowing love to reshape our hearts and lives.
May we trust that grace, stronger than any darkness,
will guide us toward truth, healing, and love.
