Mystery of the day: Luminous
Theme: I will forever keep you in mind.
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. (Isaiah 49:15)
God has been, He is and will continue showering His bountiful love upon humanity.
Today's text taken from the second Isaiah (which was written during the Exile) speaks of God's special love for His children, which is quite touching and striking. Here Isaiah projects an image of God as Mother; who cuddles, and tenders her children with care. As a Mother, sometimes she denies herself comfort for the well-being of her child.
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. (Isaiah 49:15)
Consequent upon this, God also reminded us of writing our names in His palms. (cf. Isaiah 49:16). Assurance that even if the mother fails, He will never fail us.
There is no better way of loving than a "fulfilled promise." He is too faithful to disappoint us. As we keep on journey together, may His love sustains us now and forevermore.
Peace! Be with you.
Let us pray
O God, who reward the merits of the just and offer pardon to sinners who do penance, have mercy, we pray, on those who call upon you, that the admission of our guilt may serve to obtain your pardon for our sins. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
