Called to go beyond human boundaries

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today exhorts us to go beyond the “letter of the law” to the Law that is written on our heart. That “law” is discerned through the indwelling Spirit. Through the observance of the promptings of the Spirit, we come to the wisdom which calls us to exercise the Love of the Divine. This love is the basis for the quality of love which extends to enemies. It is also the source of the transcendent power to exceed human boundaries. The earthquake in Chile early this morning will call on people again to transcend the usual boundaries in action, prayer and selflessness. We join together in prayer to activate our indwelling Spirit.
