The theme of the book is the self-outpouring in love, or the
kenosis, of Jesus Christ. The kenosis of the Son of God is at the
heart of the identity of the Sisters of Jesus of Nazareth, for whom
these reflections were initially composed. In baptism we are all
plunged into the self-emptying life of Jesus and are called to live
out this way of love in whatever situations we find ourselves. It
is not surprising, then, that while the book was originally written
to benefit a particular religious community it is, in fact, deeply
significant to all followers of Jesus. Extravagant Love is not a
sustained treatise on the kenosis of the Son of God. The mystery is
too great for that. Rather, Ruth Burrows draws together scriptural
and theological insights and her own lived experience of over
seventy years as a Carmelite nun to offer various streams into the
unfathomable ocean of God's self-giving, ecstatic love. Each
reflection is intended to begin in reading and to continue in
prayerful pondering and contemplative wonder.
