My wife and I have slept in cars, homeless, without a penny to our name… we’ve slept in nice homes on comfortable beds with warm blankets… we’ve had loved ones turn their backs to us… we’ve had loved ones open their doors for us… we’ve eaten dinner on the street with a friend who is almost 70, surrounded by flies, and is missing one eye… we’ve eaten dinner with family at nice, fancy restaurants… we’ve experienced the cold chill of a spiritual dark night, feeling void of anything spiritual… we’ve encountered the warm joy of divine Presence in prayer…
The one thing that always remains constant…
every day, every night, every moment…
for us, and for you, and for the world– past, present, and future…
in good times, in bad times… in sickness, in health… in prosperity, in poverty…
the deepest truth…
..God is love..
God is love.
In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.
- St. John
I am convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God.
- St. Paul
