Belonging

“The Lord made us, we belong to him.” It was the Responsorial Psalm a few days ago and it has stuck with me. It’s so Year of Faith, which, of course, is meant to be rooted in the Bible. It is so renewing, isn’t it, in our daily walk, in joy, mercy, and hope. What more do we need to know? That He loves us so much, He died for us, to conquer sin and death. And yet here we are sinning. Here we are, forgetting. Here we are, able to fall into His most merciful arms in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Here we are, receiving Him. Letting him sanctify our lives, each thought, each word, each deed.
