“All is too little for the Lord.” St. Agostina Pietrantoni (1864-1894)

In a short but precise statement, she captures Salvation History and our response. We cannot begin to take in all that God has done for humanity in general and us in particular. He created all things out of nothing and sustains all things in existence. He willed to share his Divine Life with one of his creation, whom he formed in his own image and likeness. When human beings failed the test of love and obedience, He promised a Savior, himself, to restore us to our inheritance by the sacrifice of his life. He has showered grace upon grace upon us, none of which was deserved. This barely covers what he has done for us. What does he ask in return? Love, so that we can be fulfilled. Nothing I can do or give can adequately begin to equate what he has and is still doing. But the little I have and can do, I will give to God in gratitude and praise out of love.
