How can we become God's partners in transforming a world in which absolute safety and security are an illusion, in which a terminal illness, a fatal terrorist attack or financial ruin can strike at any moment? While the answers to these questions are as unique as each person's spiritual journey, we can make choices that place us on a path of partnership with God and creation, that place us on the side of life regardless of our situation or the actions of others. We can choose love rather than fear even in the most challenging situations. We can become God's partners in mending the small worlds of our personal lives and families and the larger worlds of communities and nations.
