What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important. Too often people think it is necessary that we all see God in the same way (which is impossible anyway), but what is really necessary is that we all follow God according to what God tells us…. God honors each unique journey and culture. God is not threatened by differences. It’s we who are.

We cannot wait for the world to turn, for times to change that we might change with them, for the revolution to come and carry us around in its new course. We are the future. We are the revolution.

History is not just facts and events. History is also a pain in the heart and we repeat history until we are able to make another’s pain in the heart our own.

In the person of Jesus God’s self-communication to all creatures reaches its concrete and tangible expression in history…. What Jesus began to teach about the divine energy is that it is inclusive, that in its radiant presence it embraces all that is. The connectedness of all life is not merely a physical phenomenon but an essential of that divine presence.
Radical Amazement, by Judy Cannato p.75.
…”to be” is to be with.” Reality is “being with another” in a way open to more union and more being. Since being is existence toward another, being relational and exists for the sake of giving. I do not exist in order that I may possess; rather I exist in order that I may give of myself, for it is in giving that I am myself. Cosmic life is intrinsically communal. Being is first a “we” before it can become an “I.” There is no being who can stand up and say “I did it alone.” Rather, the universe is thoroughly relational and in the framework of love.
