Cosmic winds reinforce the words of Jesus: “Into your hands I commit my spirit.”

Here we have a glimpse into the secret life of God. There is a sacred intimacy in this mantra of Jesus, and it is at the heart of what we call ‘creation.’

God is Spirit; God is love. And ‘all that is’ resonates, vibrates, and dances in the rhythms of this spirit.

A Body of Christ lives on Spirit, and wants to breathe and hold in breathless exultation its own sacred moment of flesh and blood.

This is Trinitarian life, and you and I, plants and flowers, animals and birds, oceans, mountains, galaxies beyond galaxies, all of us - belong to this Body of Christ.

The question will always be this: do we know who we are?

See yourself as a child of God, created in the pattern of the Divine with Christ as your template. Such intimacy with God is the fruit of your baptism, and the love of God is the love of your life.

You will know this when you have learned to say, “Into your hands I commit my spirit.”
