When Saint Francis prayed for God to make him an instrument of His Peace, it seems clear he also was including His Love. And he, like all of us, no matter how loving our intentions may be, have found ourselves speaking and doing in ways quite the opposite. But then there are those blessed moments when, accepting our imperfections and weaknesses with a humble heart, we pray for Him to say and do through us, to make us an instrument of His Love. On those precious occasions when this prayer is answered and we are able to consciously witness Him manifesting miraculous Love through us—what inexplicable Joy! With our hard-earned humility, we know what has happened was His Grace breaking through our normal barriers of self-limitation, for we directly experience a degree of perfection in what is happening that we know is way beyond what we can do alone. How did that Perfection of Divine Love “break-through” me-limitations? Why now? Why me? And what can I do to increase openness to it happening again? These and others are questions the contributors to this book have grappled with and lovingly share with us here. May these gifts support and uplift you.
