Who are we? This is the central question of our spiritual journey. When we answer it truthfully, everything else becomes secondary. We are not defined by our achievements, failures, or even our judgments about ourselves. Our true identity is grounded in something greater—a shared connection with all life and the Source of life itself. When we face self-doubt or harsh self-judgment, we must return to this truth: we are not separate. We belong to something vast and unchanging. Our task is simple but profound: to remain connected to this Source, to trust in its mercy, and to accept the love that sustains us. This is not something we earn; it is something we receive, and in receiving, we are transformed.
May we live grounded in the truth
of our shared connection to the Source,
trusting in mercy, and receiving the love
that sustains and transforms us.
(inspired by Richard Rohr, Essential Teachings on Love)
