God is not our buddy or our uncle or the mascot of our favorite sports team. God is not thunder or lightning or a tsunami or an earthquake. God is not a customer service agent, a politician or a salesperson. God is not liberal or conservative, male or female, religious or secular. God does not wear a funny white outfit and wave to people from an armored vehicle. God is not a book of dramatic stories and lists of laws. God is not a symbol that hangs on church walls to remind people of their sinfulness. God Is Love, and the more we believe in the God who is love, the less need we will have to define God. All of our fears will be cast out; we will gladly and easily put out into the deep; we will run the way of the truth. Our lives indeed will be easy and free, and all of our cares will be forgotten among the lilies. The time is now. There is no other way. We must risk everything. God Is Love.
Ave Crux, Spes Unica.
