The nature of our holiness is JOY. The two go together. Pain suffering, loss, sickness, have nothing to do with Love. JOY and all forms of suffering are mutually exclusive. In fact, they are defenses against Love. When they are present, they indicate the absence of Love. They are surely a "call for Love." Forgiveness is called upon to meet them. Silence and Stillness are the first responses in the face of them. Allowing forgiveness to blanket these cries for help is a practice we would do well to perfect. In this extension, our holiness shines bright and clear today.
