Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 something awesome that white wolfe read this morning....enjoy...^^~~~~ further up and further in, white wolfe "The saints do not contemplate to know, but to love.They do not love for the sake of loving, but for the loveof Him whom they love. It is for the love of their firstbeloved, God, that they aspire to that very union withGod that love demands whilst they love themselves onlyfor Him. For them the end of ends is not to bring exultationto their intellect and nature and thus stop at themselves. Itis to do the will of Another, to contribute to the good of theGood. They do not seek their own soul. The lose it; theyno longer possess it. If in entering into the mystery ofDivine filiation and becoming something of God, they gaina transcendent personality, an independence and a libertywhich nothing of this world approaches, it is by forgetting allelse so that they do not live, but the Beloved lives in them."from The Degrees of Knowledge, Jacques Maritain, p.10.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 i sing my burning for you, my beloved, into song Your beautiful lyrics speak so wonderfully of the metaphor of Divine Love that our love of one another may be. Recently, I had the most incredible experience; I can't speak of it yet...another time perhaps. Shanti ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
