We gather to be reminded,

reminded that the heart of the cosmos is love.

We gather to be rooted,

rooted and grounded in love.

We gather to proclaim,

that nothing—

nothing living or dead,

angelic or demonic,

today or tomorrow,

high or low,

thinkable or unthinkable

—absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Alleluia! Amen.
