Affirmation feels different when it’s public, out loud and in front of everyone — as at the Baptism of Christ and the Transfiguration, where God audibly affirmed Jesus as his beloved Son. That affirmation becomes the foundation that allows Jesus to be free; to weep and be compassionate and angry, to be a revelation of the heart of God. The hearts of the sons and daughters of God long to hear the Father speaking a blessing over them — a blessing that allows them to flourish and give of themselves unto death. This authentic flourishing comes from the grace of knowing who they are.
The Father is consistent in his message. Are we consistent in our response?

Trust Is Hard for Everyone
Week 4 of a series on A 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V. Trust is hard for everybody.

The Rich Man and Lazarus (Lent 2024)
Does it have to end in just being able to receive God’s unconditional love? Like Lazarus, the guy beat up on the side of the road.

We now have the dignity of His beloved sons and daughters, of not just being the recipients of His unconditional love, but now being able to love, not only from our strength but…
