| BkIII:1.III.3 | With this introduction, my children, beloveds of Heaven, we begin Lent. We begin this journey right now, with the certainty that it is a path of blessings, and of unmatched grace. This is a path within a greater path on which we walk to the resurrection. We do not stop at each station of Lent, but rather always move forward. We move forward through the deepest darkness, which we accept and embrace with love, to reach the clearest light, which we also embrace and integrate in love. Then we transcend the dualities of shadow and clarity, good and bad, big and small, to live definitively in Oneness. |
