The Boundless Body of Love

We are part of a long lineage of those who have received and passed on the love that connects all of humanity. This love is not an abstract concept, but something real and lived that we must first experience in order to share. When we open ourselves to love, we become participants in a movement that transcends time. Our only holiness is by participation and surrender to the Body of Love, and not by any private performance. Our purpose is not to strive for personal holiness through effort, but to allow love to move through us and into the world. In doing so, we continue a process that has always been in motion—transforming lives through the power of love that is freely given and shared from generation to generation.

May we surrender to the boundless Body of Love,
allowing it to flow through us,
so that we may transform the world with
the grace that has been freely given.
