SLIDE 7

When I love God I love the beauty of bodies, the rhythm of movements, the shining of eyes, the embraces, the feelings, the scents, the sounds of all this protean creation. When I love you, my God, I want to embrace it all, for I love you with all my senses in the creations

f your love. In all the things that encounter

me, you are waiting for me. Jürgen Moltmann

SLIDE 8

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. . . God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. John

SLIDE 9

Love is treasuring the otherness of the other . . . in relational encounter

SLIDE 10

Love comes as a response to the presence of the other. As that spark across the gaps happens more often, the connection deepens and the trust grows—a gradual and painful process, to be sure, as together we discover and explore our patterns of vulnerability and invulnerability, our hopes and fears. Still, the healing connection is deepened and nourished as I bare my wounds and let my frightened self find voice, feel heard, be seen, and be consoled. That is the beginning of the miracle of love: being open to another, guards down, and—no questions asked, no demands, no judgments— being respected, received, affirmed, and blessed. To show

neself as the person we are—wounded, blemished, hurting,

longing—and to feel welcomed and accepted is to experience grace.
