God created through love and for love.
God did not create anthing except love itself,
and the means to love.
He created love in all its forms.
He created beings capable of love
from all possible distances.
Because no other could do it,
he himself went to the greatest possible distance,
the infinite distance.
This infinite distance between God and God,
this supreme tearing apart,
this agony beyond all others,
this marvel of love, is the crucifixion.
Nothing can be further from God
than that which has been made accursed.
This tearing apart,
over which supreme love
places the bond of supreme union,
echoes perpetually across the universe
in the midst of the silence,
like two notes,
separate yet melting into one,
like pure and heart-rending harmony.
This is the Word of God.
The whole creation is nothing but its vibration.
When human music in its greatest purity
pierces our soul,
this is what we hear through it.
(from Waiting For God by Simone Weil)
A suggestion for your prayer and meditation:
Put on a piece of music that pierces your soul and listen for the Word of God.
Pastor Patty Fox 40 days with 40 Christian mystics
This pierces my soul and let's me know I'm surrounded by God's love:
