Our Father Waits

In reflecting on the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32), Pope Francis has said about God, “He waits. Always.  And it is never too late.  That’s what he is like, that’s how he is…he’s a father.  A father waiting at the doorway, who sees us when we are still far off, who is moved, and who comes running toward us, embraces us and kisses us tenderly.” (The Name of God is Mercy, Pope Francis, pages 51-52)

Loving Kiss

Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is of God;
everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
Whoever is without love does not know God, for 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. 

1 John 4:7-9

Always New

How can God be unchanging, yet always new?  Have you ever met an elderly couple that have been married for many, many years but their love is still fresh, still alive, still new.  So it is with God, for God is a relationship of pure love, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  God, the source of all true love, is always new. 

Love and Mercy
