Obedience is freedom.

The soul bows,
and in its bending
finds release.

The law is love,
not written to bind,
but to lead us
into the heart of God.

Love is sacrifice.

It empties itself
without counting the cost,
and calls that loss
joy.

Forgiveness is not optional.

Mercy is the path
we are asked to walk,
again
and again.

Give.

The open hand
is the only one
that can receive.

Every road
finds the Cross.

Every sorrow,
every hope,
every longing
passes through its shadow
into light.

This is the way.

This is the freedom
Christ reveals.
