Oratio Divina: Consent To Wholeness

May I not give in to division
to the belief of separateness
separateness from my fellows
from my enemies
from nature
from God
may I submit to wholeness
consent to wholeness
embrace wholeness
wholeness within myself
within community
within nature
within God
the God of all things
the God of all in all
in whose image we are made
to be all in all
to be all with all
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where in your life are you tempted to believe in separation rather than unity, and what might it look like to consent more fully to God’s wholeness there?

Scripture:
“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God.” — Ephesians 2:19
