The 13th Century mystic, Marguerite Porete, famously wrote, “I am God, says Love, for Love is God, and God is Love …” These are a few of her words found in her book, The Mirror of Simple Souls - a work, that because she refused to recant, led to her death on charges of heresy. Her observation recorded here points toward a mystery at the heart of the greatest command: Love is God, and we are to love God, which means we are to love, Love. More simply, we are to love what the Divine is.
Which raises the question: what does this look like? There is no singular response to that question, but it can begin with our simply response being a willingness to participate in the life of God. It is this Divine life that already sustains all things, including us, and we can embrace that reality or resist it. Should we choose to embrace love, we just may find ourselves loving God.
