Love is the way I walk in gratitude. And let your gratitude make room for all who will be freed with you: the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death. Walk then, in gratitude, the way of love.

Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It can be ignored. To the extent that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us. Denying love is our only problem, and embracing it is the only answer. Through the power of love, we can let go of past history and begin again.

The scripture says, “We will eat the fruit of our words.” Words are like seeds. You are planting seeds when you talk. At some point, you’re going to eat that fruit. When you speak something out, you give life to what you’re saying. If you continue to say it, eventually that can become a reality. Whether you realize it or not, you are prophesying your future. You’re going to reap

I think it is obvious from this professed devotion from Mother Teresa that to her, God was not some remote and separate entity up there or out there somewhere in the universe. Surely to suggest that we are “swimming in God” means that God is the very essence of our being, the ver y core of who we are.

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass away. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. They who have God lack nothing. God alone is enough. ~ Saint Teresa of Avila

Radiance is the ever-expanding Essence of the Wonderful One made manifest in the body. Radiance is the Presence made visible in the world of physical things, that I AM THAT I AM may be known. ~ Lloyd Arthur Meeker, p.11, Seven Steps to the Temple of Light

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~ Albert Einstein
