"This inexhaustible love between the Father and the Son includes and yet transcends all forms of love known to
us . . . . This eternal community of love is the center and source of Jesus' spiritual
life, a life of uninterrupted attentiveness to the Father in the Spirit of love. It is
from this life that Jesus' ministry grows. His eating and fasting, his praying and
acting, his traveling and resting, his preaching and teaching, his exorcising and healing,
were all done in this Spirit of love. We will never understand the full meaning of
Jesus' richly varied ministry unless we see how the many things are rooted in the one
thing: listening to the Father in the intimacy of perfect love. When we see this, we will
also realize that the goal of Jesus' ministry is nothing less than to bring us into this
most intimate community."
SoAmazing Review: Making All Things New advocates
our imitating Jesus' roots in the Father's love. Faithfully doing so will be worth it.
