goodness, love

 "...if our framing story tells us that we are free and responsible creatures in a creation made by a good and wise Love and that this Love wants us to pursue virtue, collaboration, peace, and mutual care for one another and all living creatures, and that our lives can have profound meaning if we align ourselves with Love's wisdom, character, and dreams for us, then our society will take a radically different direction, and our world will become a very different place.

we have the opportunity to live the story that was given to us in the beginning, that creation is Good, even Very Good, and that it is our vocation to nurture and grow such goodness wherever we can."
