Love Answering Love’s Call

The Christian story is essentially about Love answering loves call. This is who God is, and why the Son of God emptied himself and took on our humanity. It is why God suffered in Christ for us. 

Just as love responds to love within God, it also echoes within the interior landscape of each soul. Love is always calling and waiting for a response. The Father calls to the Son, and the Christ within each human person is invited to respond. The formless and hidden God continues to incarnate His Word in the world through our love.

As the psalm says, “deep calls to deep in the roar of waters.” This is the divine love stirring deep within us, and seeking a response from us. We only have to say yes, for it is God’s Love responding to God’s Love within us.  Our yes is Love’s expansion.
