Hey, Triple Q! There are a few dozen essays linked on the URL I posted in my other message, but I think this one in particular might be of interest to you. Here's the concluding paragraph from the essay, entitled "The Fire of the Resurrection." "From this day, from this hour, from this minute," says St. Herman of Alaska, "let us love God first of all." Because the Resurrection had freed his heart, St. Herman was able to receive, and therefore to give, extraordinary love to God and man. He saw the Native Americans with the eyes of Christ and thus served them as persons worthy of respect and honor, worthy to receive the Gospel of Christ, having been lovingly created in the image and likeness of God. He saw the holiness of all creation, and gave it the reverence love demands. May his prayers and example fire us with the love of God to "go, and do likewise." The reason I'm drawing this to your attention is to demonstrate that not all Christians everywhere have missed the point of "Love one another." If you do check it out, I'd be interested to hear your reaction. Dirk |
