aha

Every now and then we have a moment of realization. We may be praying the rosary, reading the gospel, or just driving along listening to a song we've heard a hundred times. Suddenly, we understand that God loves us. In an instant, we see every moment of salvation history from Adam and Eve to the book of Revelation. We see clearly that God the Father is madly in love with us all! From David leaping and dancing before the Ark of the Covenant, to John the Baptist leaping in Elizabeth's womb when Mary arrives at their home, the simplicity of God's single desire to be with us and for us to be with Him forever moves us deeply. We taste sweet grace. There is nothing we can do but worship Him with our lips and lives, humbling ourselves, and in this sudden mysterious and beautiful thought, give Him our love and lives as best we can.
