Gospel Sentence
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. “ (Romans 8:28)
Reading
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:36–39)
Meditation
When the trials of this world overwhelm us, we are left weak and fragile, often feeling isolated and alone. St. Paul words reassure us that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. NOTHING. Not cancer, not depression, not guilt, not shame, not even death, can put a wedge between us and the love God has for us.
Silence
