Anthropology in Action

Recently, some friends of mine have successfully created a promotional video that focuses on a unique kind of life giving love. It's the kind of love that exists for others. Their video highlights the real and everyday activity and love of sisters. They are real women who have dedicated their lives to Christ. Through that dedication their lives have become beacons of light, of life, and hope to so many - especially the marginalized. This is the kind of love that serves as a light for an anthropology of being-as-gift. What I mean to say is that their lives are the lived expression of this anthropology. It cannot remain stuck in the world of ideas. It must be lived out, because ultimately it is not about an idea, power, or any other thing than a relationship with a person - God, revealed in and through Jesus Christ! Since love of Christ has become the center of their lives these sisters radiate the joy, fullness of humanity, and beauty of hope. To see it for yourself check out http://www.mysteryandhope.org.
