You are the incarnation of Divine Love, you are the expression of God\u2019s infinite compassion, you are the visible manifestation of the Father\u2019s holiness.<br \/>\nYou are beauty, goodness, gentleness, forgiveness, and mercy. In you all can be found. Outside of you nothing can be found. Why should I look elsewhere or go elsewhere?<br \/>\nYou have the words of eternal life, you are food and drink, you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.<br \/>\nYou are the light that shines in the darkness, the lamp on the lampstand, the house on the hilltop.<br \/>\nYou are the perfect Icon of God. In and through you I can see the Heavenly Father, and with you I can find my way to him.<br \/>\nO Holy One, Beautiful One, Glorious One, be my Lord, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Guide, my Consoler, my Comforter, my Hope, my Joy, and my Peace.<br \/>\nTo you I want to give all that I am. Let me be generous, not stingy or hesitant. Let me give you all\u2014all that I have, think, do, and feel. It is yours, O Lord. Please accept it and make it fully your own. \u00a0Amen.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\">(Henri Nouwen)<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, &#8216;I am the Son of God&#8217;?
