Building a New Community
July 14, 2025
We can love others because the “I” in our innermost self has heard the first love – which is God’s unconditional, unlimited love. When we come together in relationships, we recognize that others are also loved with the first love. The first love incarnates in different ways in every person and calls us together to build a new home, a new community, a new dwelling place for God in this world.
