Knit to God with love. “We only have to be what we already are, which is the creature and the beloved child of God.” Father Keating taught the awakening of unity consciousness meant deeper participation in the world, not separation from it. My life as a contemplative moves from silence rooted in love to service of those around me. Because we are “knit to God”, “…the love of God creates in us such a oneing that when it is truly seen, no person can separate themselves from another.” <3 linda
