“We seek and we are found. We call and we are
called. We give and we are given. We study, we form groups, we meditate. We
pray. All this is good, but the heart of the matter lies elsewhere. There is
only one universe, one search, one call, one love, one gift. Returning it in
the form of the gift of ourselves, we recover not only what we have lost but
the seed of the world yet to come. Then the way is clear and simple. Chosen from
the foundation of the world, we are called ‘to the praise of the glory of his
grace.’"— Christopher Bamford, “The Gift of the Call,” in The Best American Spiritual Writing 2005, edited by Philip Zaleski (2005)
