If
you think about Life as a body, and of each person, and even every living
thing, as a cell within that body, each of us has his or her own role, or
function, in service of the health of the body. We have great freedom in discerning and
fulfilling that function. Just as, in a
body, some cells protect other cells, connect other cells, or bring the oxygen
others need to function, we each have the responsibility of fulfilling our
particular function, and supporting each other - not judging or interfering
with each other - in fulfilling each other's function.
Life
always works marvelously well (our judgments notwithstanding), its cells
unified and informed by something more than its physical components. There is a Holy Spirit connecting all of
Life: a Spirit of Love.
