DESTINY:
WHEN ANGELS SPEAK OF LOVE
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning
of life by ourselves alone-we fin d it with another.

HEALING:
REDEMPTIVE LOVE
We have been brought into the inner wine cellar and
sealed with His seal, which is to suffer out of love.
The ardor of this love greatly outweighs any suffering
we may undergo, for suffering comes to an end, but
love is forever.
- TESSA BIEL ECKI

LOSS:
LOVING INTO LIFE AND DEATH
You have to trust that every frie ndship has no end,
that a communion of saints exists among all those,
living and dead, who have truly loved God and one
another. You know from experience how real this is.
Those you have loved deeply and who have died live
on in you, not just as memories but as real presences.
- HENRI NOUWEN

MUTUALITY:
THE HEART OF LOVE
True giving is a thoroughly joyous thing to do. We
experience happiness when we form the intention to
give, in the actual act of giving, and in the recollection
of the fact that we have given. Generosity is a cele-
bration. When we give something to someone we feel
connected to them, and our commitment to the path
of peace and awareness deepens.
