“'Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights' (Jms. 1:17). But there is something more.

It returns us back to the oneness and deifying simplicity of the Father who gathers us in. For, as the sacred Word says, 'from Him and to Him are all things' (Rom. 11:36).”
