The question needs to be asked, how well have we been
exposed to the radical nature of the message of free undeserved love as taught
and practiced in the mission and ministry of Him Who was the incarnation of
Infinite love, Jesus Who became The
Christ of God. Becoming The Christ of
God was not "a walk in the park," it was rather a journey, for the
historical Jesus, into pain-full suffering, excruciating abandonment, complete
kenosis, an emptying out which none of us can imagine, but participate in to
some degree on a daily basis. Then there was the encounter with death, finally
Resurrection and A new life which all are offered to participate. We are
loved into the freedom to say "no" or "yes." The spiritual
IS hard work, and the older one gets the harder one has to work at acceptance
and surrender. Those in AA or on any
recovery journey also come to know "the longer you are sober/clean the
harder you have to work." The
disease progresses so it is incumbent, essential for all, that progress
in the spiritual realm reality must be an every reality as well.
