Matthew 28:16-20

28:16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

28:17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.

28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

28:20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Poetry

Excerpt from "The Unbearable Wholeness of Being"
by Ilia Delio

If the Incarnation is what the universe is about, a cosmotheandric revolution of love, then evolution is an unfolding theophany , an unveiling of divinity in creation. Evolution is Trinity enfolding space-time. Love overflows into space-time Word, energized by the Spirit of new creation…God is the name of love’s excess, which gives rise to being and transcends being. God, therefore, is always “more” of what any finite being can express. God emerges from within as ever newness in love and is the future of every new love.”
