An excerpt from a sermon given by József Szombatfalvi, minister and district dean, Székeleykeresztúr, Transylvania.
I have brought you the greatest gift,
the crown of life that rules all life—
including our walking together;
I have brought you Love,
love that fills the universe, and holds us together.
For Love ultimately is God.
Our relationship is based solely on love
and has a divine blessing on it.
I have brought you the joy
that walking on a divine path brings into anyone’s life.
This enables me to rejoice with those who celebrate life,
to cry with those who mourn,
to forgive and be forgiven
This is my joy over the miracle of life itself,
and the divine presence in nature, and in history—
and in you and in me
as we live out our faith acting through our deeds.
