“With the Lord, There is mercy and the fullness of redemption, Call to him in your trials, he will answer whenever you call”. It takes great strength to acknowledge & exalt ourselves and sins to place God at the highest point of life (See LK 18:9-14). Yet, he already knows the emotions/sins before a word is ever spoken. Why? As father at mass spoke, there’s nothing we have this is not first given by God! These emotions he places are for a purpose of navigating the complexities of our imperfection as his creations. Also to understand the beautiful fullness we receive through the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ.
Today’s mass, felt his presence guiding me. Whether it was the mass, prayer of fellowship HES ALWAYS THERE. We (myself too) struggle with brokenness feeling so unworthy of anything that comes along to us. Times to the point of wandering away.... I did and it’s no fun ~Come back Jesus says~. All I could say in the moment was that I am damaged goods with no worth of ever healing. Now it should’ve been like Jesus I need your help with this brokenness and seek your healing. See the difference similarly to today’s gospel reading?! Yet he still made his presence known. The words COME BACK fill my soul as I understand the everlasting desire and longing for us to never wander away. Similar like rose and jack from titanic (ok maybe not at the same level but true). Fully knowing that Jesus should be on speed dial right along with the Blessed Mother. Without whom, our call may not reach as close to Jesus.
