Finding words

I am short on words today, so I settled to pray with the words of others…

For Love’s sake, I will open myself to God and let the Spirit invade me and fill me till I no longer know what is mine or thine. This would be my fulfillment O my God. 
Howard Thurman

Who can explain love? even our human desires are a feeling, a preference that cannot be touched – love of ice cream, love for that “shiny new thing,” romantic love.
Who can explain Love? the Love chosen in the face of hatred; Love that protests on behalf of another; Love that limits its own freedom so all may be free together.
I may not be able to explain Love but I can practice it. 

Love is patient; Love is kind; 
Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way;
Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things, hopes all things, believes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

God is Love…if we love one another, God lives in us and Love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:9, 12

I am short on words today, so I live with the words of others…

God is not the object of our love and longing. God is the Loving itself.
Cynthia Bourgeault

The process for finding words for what cannot be explained is Incarnation. 
Alfred Corn

May I live into the process of finding words for what I cannot explain.
In this together…
