The future of the Church lies in unity, a divine calling for both connection with God and with one another. This transformative journey can be likened to the changes experienced in marriage, encompassing both ease and challenges. Spiritual formation unfolds through cycles of Awakening—recognizing our separation from God; Purgation—removing obstacles to that union; Illumination—gaining God’s perspective; and finally, Union—achieving oneness with Him. This cyclical process deepens throughout our lives, fostering a collective unity among all believers as we draw closer to God.
