I learned that the crucifix 
does not represent justice alone, 
and that equally important are 
the concepts of love and grace.

State of Grace

     State of Grace:
     It's achieving the peace and
     freedom of living in the moment,
     and not allowing past wrongs
     to colour the present.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.

To serve the call of courage and love

Until we see your beautiful face again

In that land where there is no more separation,

Where all tears will be wiped from our mind,

And where we will never lose you again.

John O'Donohue, On the Death of the Beloved
