Thought of the Day November 22, 2017 Gratitude for God's love

By 9:32 AM


We are grateful to God for a mystery we do not comprehend.
For his great love: which we see and which we do not see; he accepts us as we are and who we are and asks us to do the same towards others; he doesn't withhold his personal love because of our race, creed, color of our skin, nationality, language, culture, education, economic status, strengths or weaknesses or whether we love him or not; he loves us because he loves unconditionally.
Jesus is the greatest sign of this divine love.

Paddy Chayefsky, in his play Gideon, has a truly remarkable passage containing his imagined dialogue between Yahweh and the OT judge Gideon:

GIDEON; I thought of nothing but you the whole night. I am possessed by all the lunacy of love. If I could, I would cover you with veils, God, and keep you hidden behind the curtains in my tent. Oh! Just say again you love me, God.
GOD: I do, Gideon.
GIDEON: I do not know why. I must say, I do not know why.
GOD: I hardly knew why myself, but then passion is an unreasonable thing.

God loves because God is love!

Jesus said that we are to go to the ends of the world, proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation. Our recent Holy Fathers have urged us to use the social media to accomplish this task. This is just one attempt to respond to both calls. Join me in this effort.
