Day 1 (Ash Wednesday)  

God is Holy Mystery,
beyond complete knowledge,
above perfect description.  

Yet,
in love,
the one eternal God seeks relationship.   

What does it mean to describe God as “Holy Mystery”? What does it mean to say “God seeks relationship”? If God is “beyond complete knowledge,” why does God need to seek anything? How does one experience “Holy Mystery”? How do you experience “Holy Mystery”?
