From the desk of our spiritual director, Lenza Smith
Theme for June: Higher, Deeper Love
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Love is the very essence of reality, the fundamental fabric of existence; it must, by its nature, be present in all experiences—even those we label as uncomfortable or painful. This expanded awareness of love doesn’t deny the difficulty; instead, it aligns us with life itself, revealing a deeper current beneath the surface of circumstances. This allows us to engage with life from a place of unconditional, universal love, empowering us to find peace and presence, knowing that love is the constant, unwavering truth of our being and the world around us.
The essence of love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the spirit. Only love knows love, and love knows only love. Words cannot express its depth or meaning. A universal sense alone bears witness to the divine fact: God is love and love is God.
