Spiral Way

That jewel in the making, the ever growing crystal of Divine Humanity, seems destined to reflect from every facet some new aspect of the infinitely various Being of God; the inexhaustible simplicity of Christ. Each soul that is added to it, cut and polished by the sharp and steady action of grace, offers a fresh angle to the incoming Divine Light; gives a fresh picture of its love to the world. Yet there is a unity in this variousness; for all are centred on one point, each grows by the laws which rule the universal growth, each draws its very life from one sacred heart. They are one, because they belong to the mystical and eternal fellowship of Jesus. For each to live is Christ; and to grow is to assimilate the simple yet difficult secret of His growth. They are many, since to each His life in them is a separate and peculiar gift, taking character from the temperament through which it is received. Thus His mystical body of many members is built up in our midst.
