Reflect: Let’s be honest… we may sometimes struggle with a sneaking fear that “God loves me because He has to love me, and not because I am actually lovable or because He actually finds me delightful.” But God willed us for our own sake (CCC 356), choosing to make us in His image, a unique and unrepeatable reflection of His glory. God is, as St. Catherine of Siena put it, “crazy-in-love with us”. Jesus, the Adorable One, took on human flesh to reveal to us our worth and lovableness. He freely chose to become human – to feel what we do, to experience what we experience, even to look like us – to save us from believing the lie that we are unlovable.
Share: Today, ask Jesus: “Lord, show me how you see me. Help me to believe that I am good, that I am lovable, that You delight in me.”
God Bless!

That was beautiful! Thank you Sister for reminding us of our beauty and Gods love for us. May I gasp today as Amy did
Thanks for this reflection. I sometimes get really down on myself thinking of my past sins and feelings of despair. God is near and truly loves us.
Thank you for these three uplifting moments at the end of a busy day! Yes. His love knows no ends.
These nuns…what a blessing!?
Thank you Father for revealing your love over and over. We seem to need it.
