The present demands of love
14 Dec—23 Jan 2023
Opening:
Wednesday 14th December, 6 - 8 PM
The contemplative and active lives, are they separate or bound?
Oil and water, or unique threads woven into the same tapestry?
Or are they even more intimately integrated, as in an understanding of the human ontological composition as a spirit-body, a whole person, irreducibly both visible and invisible?
And if so composed, what is the binder, the loom, the composing force?
To love, to will the good of other.
Attending to the present need in the responsibilities of parenthood.
A transcendent pause to meet the needs of the heart.
To pause making for the good of the other.
Resuming to form an enriching encounter for the other.
