In choosing love as our guiding principle, we are committing ourselves to action that serves others’ well-being. This love is neither passive nor confined to personal relationships; it reaches into the public and political realms, urging us to act with integrity and courage in every part of life. Love is universal, extending beyond the bounds of our own homes, neighborhoods, and nations. It is practical, purposeful, and insists on inclusion. Love requires us to step into difficult situations, to lift up those who are struggling, and to speak out against harm. The way of love will show us the right thing to do, every single time. Every time we act out of love, we align ourselves more closely with a higher calling, seeking a world that reflects compassion and justice for all.
May the way of love guide us in every moment,
revealing the right path to justice, compassion, and peace.
(inspired by Michael Curry with Sara Grace, Love Is the Way)
