Human lives of service that point to unity.

Human lives at their best are lives of service, not in a subjugated way, but directed toward giving meaning and direction to others that in turn point to the unity of all. That commitment to others may be intellectual, spiritual, philosophical. It may be in very concrete ways through medicine, through sciences. But the commitment ultimately must be made to dedicating a life to those activities that serve to enhance the lives of others, not just self.

You don’t live on an island. You live in a village, whether that village is large or appears to be consisting of only you. Nevertheless, there is an interdependence that joins all together, and in that joint strength, you are bringing to life God’s presence, the presence that you pray for.
