"God only and always loves."
Catherine LaCugna, as quoted by Kathy Coffey in "Give Us This Day"
I think if all we came out of Lent 2014 with was this sentence, it would be a great Lent! Wouldn't it? If we can only internalize and really believe these words, our journey with God would be more of a lovely stroll and less a game of Hide and Seek. God only and always loves us. Period. And all God wants in return is our love and our loving our neighbor. And why is that so difficult? It is because God seems far away at times and our neighbor drives us nuts. And so the life-long journey of our running around trying to find and please God and God just wanting us to love--God and our neighbor. So, today, let's memorize this truth. God only and always loves us. Let's sit with it, process it, and it roll it around in our hearts. If it's the only thing we learn this Lent, it will be enough. Love, heidi
