In Reality’s overarching plan, we witness the unfolding embrace of boundless Love, where the diverse elements of creation converge in a harmonious unity. Similar to a wedding, it symbolizes intimacy, drawing us closer together and guiding us towards a profound sense of belonging and union. The Eastern Fathers termed this journey as divinization or theosis, signifying our path towards understanding our essence and purpose, encapsulating the core of incarnation and salvation. Our prayers extend beyond ourselves to encompass all, aiming for a unified harmony to touch every soul and foster a collective embrace among humanity.
The Incarnation’s imparted courage reveals the sacred nature of union, demonstrated vividly on the world's stage as a model for all. Within this union, the inherent goodness of our being thrives, providing a sanctuary where our essence finds its dwelling. Paul's mention of 'en Christo' echoes the truth of our shared embodiment, unfolding the reality of unity.
The true Second Coming goes beyond prophecy, signifying our understanding of this shared embodiment and the embrace of a unitive consciousness. Despite resistance, the victory is assured, promised as a divine restoration—Apokatastasis—the essential message of Christ (the eternal amalgam of matter and spirit), the Alpha, and the Omega of history. In this triumph, humanity finds exaltation, as the course of revelation leads us towards complete mutual indwelling.
It's not just proximity but a reality of indwelling, a promise awaiting fulfillment, where a celestial celebration—a joyous banquet of immense grandeur—awaits the arrival of our souls.
May the unfolding embrace of boundless Love
and the harmony among diverse elements
guide us towards profound belonging and union,
echoing the sacred nature of unity witnessed in the world's theater.
As we embrace this shared embodiment
and strive for unitive consciousness,
may the promised restoration lead humanity
towards complete mutual indwelling,
exalting us in a joyous celestial wedding banquet of immense grandeur,
fulfilling the eternal promise of unity and harmony for all. Amen.
