Dark-Light curtained and near

Your skin is night and day

outward and in

You dress in silence

a garment pure of stain

Your walking is quiet-dancing

hushed movements upon grass

we speak like air with unseen words

through one Word thumping redemptive tunes

loud enough for hearts to hear

in friendship-fire the Spirit bears

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -The object of faith, we repeat, is neither a catalogue of  truths, not even truth; it is to love God in knowing his love of us, even if this love has little in common with what we imagine love to be.  As a result, Christian love consists in loving others, not in words and ideas, but in acts (Jn. 3:19).  It calls for the creation here and now of a new relationship with others.

  -All through history unnecessary shoots have sprouted up, additional canonical and liturgical rules that have petrified our relationship with God and our neighbor.

  -Each generation expresses its spiritual vision of the world and creates its own plan of the Church.

  -Action is born from an interior experience, in the communion of faith, which is itself a creative diversity.
