I believe that the ultimate goal for human life is to allow ourselves to hear and be fulfilled by what it is that we truly are, namely one community of true eternal life beyond the limits of any individual’s finitude, unified with the strength of our diversity through the active and driving force of the Holy Spirit.  When we are drawn into the life of the Holy Spirit, we meet not only our fellow travelers, but also the Divine who comes impossibly close and who continues to offer the divine self – the Spirit – as a door to our fulfillment. 

She who first spoke the possibility for life before life, chose to teach us the fullness of this gift, by sending her Truth into the realm of human experience without distortion.  Christianity is grasped in this Truth by Jesus the Christ whose perfect humanity and divinity, crucified and resurrected, is salvation in history. Others are grasped in this Truth by myriad occurances, people and symbols. In continuing to reveal her all-encompassing presence, She who creates spreads the divine love and fulfills all that is.  

As the recipients of this universal and unqualified gift of communal life, humanity is responsible for ceaselessly striving to make ourselves open to recognizing the perfected worth of all creation. This includes, without restriction, the full human community in its eternal diversity and the universe upon which we depend. All people, all nature, and all cultural creations are Hers, not ours.
