We have come to the end of our Romans 12:13 “fairy tale.” Clearly, it is no fiction that the people of God bless and honor Him when they bring and serve and give and help with whole-hearted generosity.  All our silence and meditation and worship and study and  spiritual discipline continues in order that we may love better: first God, then our neighbors as ourselves.

         The Abbess hopes you enjoyed the Cor Unum correlation. Our monastic vision is to make sure that we are contributing to the heavenly worship that belongs to God and that will go on and on even if we do not participate. Many there are who do not yet see how heavenly our lives are meant to be in this Kingdom of God.  May we ever be a generous people who give from the abundance in our hearts, as our Lord is pleased to dwell there.

         In Cor Unum, there is no “highway option” where participation is concerned.   We will worship the Lamb of Glory . . . we will worship the King of Kings. Together, with these daily entries and insights, we are making sure that our worship continues and expands to fill our hearts as well as heaven’s halls.

         This will prove important, because our next investigation is into Romans 12:14, where we will learn to bring our worshipful lives into warfare, the “blessing battle” waged on behalf of those who persecute us.

         Let’s prepare then, and prepare with worship, for tomorrow we will get ready to storm the gates of evil while we defend against the evil of bitterness in our own hearts.
