Love is pulling us on to do new things and we need to trust the power of God in our lives to do new things. God’s just waiting till we get our act together and then we’ll all be well.” That’s a boring God that’s not even God. So, it’s not like we’ve got this, “Here’s God here’s us. But guess what? Something’s going to happen whether or not you go that’s the whole point of life. Well, what if it’s wrong? What will happen to me?” Well, what will happen to you? Something will happen. But we tend to break down and start controlling things: “If I go this way, I’m going to get lost. Every step of the way is God-empowered love energy. It’s just being there, trusting that you will be going where God wants you. It’s God! It’s not the direction that counts. You might arrive late you might arrive early. That you might arrive, you might not arrive. What Francis recognized is God is in every direction. We were pretty sure that God’s there, we’re here, and we just need to keep the straight and narrow path. If we’re longing for something we desire, it’s that spilled-over love of our lives that’s pulling us onward, that’s luring us into something new. If we try to control God, that’s not God God always spills over our lives. But God is more than anything that exists. God is always the more of our lives. She said:Įverything that exists speaks of God, reflects that love energy of God. At the CAC CONSPIRE conference in 2014, the audience was able to witness and share Ilia’s enthusiasm for, and trust in, the “love energy of God,” which makes any of our typical notions of hell quite impossible. There are few people who teach as passionately about love as scientist, scholar, and Franciscan Sister Ilia Delio.
