Beyond nature’s gift
Beyond reason’s understanding
Beyond human capacity
Love springs from the Spirit
Moves in freedom
Flows from a pure heart
A good conscience
A sincere faith
It is boundless
And free of every weight
No heaviness or compulsion
No manipulation or control
No darkness at all
Beyond sensuality
Beyond the flesh
Beyond the mind
Love is God manifest
The body its temple
The Word its expression
The Spirit its presence
To receive it: Repent
Recognize the need
Cast out the evil
And make room for God
Empty yourself
Humble yourself
Surrender
Offer your body
As a living sacrifice
And receive the gift
It is how Jesus lived
In complete submission to the Father
Even to the point of death
Death on a cross
Love
The path to eternal life
The road to glory

Amen
