Everything is relational
God seeks union
Then multiplies His Grace
Abundantly
Like a spring that wells up
An endless stream of glory and grace
Through union we bring forth new life
Through union we grow and flourish,
Love connects and manifests.
The abundant fruit of the tree of life,
The Cross is the center of the Universe says St Charbel
The highest form of self sacrificing love became manifest
It brings new life even beyond death
Unite with Christ on the Cross
And live the life of abundance that springs forth from this most Holy and Sacred Union
The tree of Life and the fruit of Salvation
The joy and the peace of Christ Jesus and the Immensity of His eternal Love springs forth
Psalm 139:13-18
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.”
Isaiah 55:5-9 (RSV)
“Behold, you shall call nations that you know not,
and nations that knew you not shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.
“Seek the Lord while he may be found,
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
