God’s image and likeness are neither earned nor deserved.  They are a gift.  The quest, the desire for the Kingdom of Heaven, has been planted in us since the beginning of time.

We need not wait for our mortal death to know the power of God’s love.  We need only to gaze on His Sacred Heart. 

Incredibly, our God deems us sinful, striving, weak, and wanting humans to be one with Him in the Eucharist.

The Trinity is the first and the most profound love story ever. I dare say it is the heart of every love story we have been blessed to embrace in our lifetime.

When the breath of life was breathed into our lungs, God came to reside in us. The fullness of God made a home within us.

We believers will be recognized for these actions.

That is the bottom line. All of the stories, parables, miracles, and the casting out of demons come down to one sentence.

There is an intrinsic interdependence between God, Jesus, and us. 

Even when our lives get complicated, the Shepherd keeps calling our name. If we lose track of Jesus, He never loses track of us.

When we allow ourselves to bring our vulnerability to the table and share it in trust with those we love, Jesus is present. Jesus consecrates our time, our mutual care for one another, and the food we eat.
