The "Sacred" Character of Gender

Passionate people create passionate saints.  Cold people create cold people.  We avoid the energies of gender at our own peril.  The need and call to union and communion is so urgent and so important that God risked all the silliness, the addictions, the promiscuity, and the abuse that come with so much human sexuality.  Yes, there is sacred feminine and sacred masculine, but the most sacred of all is when they love and honor one another in ten thousand different forms and styles.  Not using one another, or controlling one another, but loving one another.

The Sacred Feminine, The Sacred Masculine

Starter Prayer:
We are created in the image of God.
