Come in, we say. The house is made holy by our presence – not because we’re so holy and so awesome, but because our presence in this place signifies our need to be together to acknowledge the infinite inventory of blessings we have known, to heal an infinite inventory of sorrows, and to build by hand and heart, by grace and by our will, the Beloved Community. The holiness is in the questions that we carry in and place like offerings upon an altar:
What will we do with each moment of this life,
– this borrowed, beautiful life –
but love till we’ve loved it away?
-Rev. Victoria Safford, “The Infinite Inventory”
