MYSTAGOGY MOMENT:
“Thus love has ever been; thus love will ever be – such love that formed the suns and stars, yet dies upon a tree.”
Love comes in many forms. Love of God. Love of Family. Love of Neighbor. But the love of God surpasses all bounds. In Hebrew, the word used for this kind of love is hesed. This type of love is unending, unbreakable and unlimited. God will love us no matter what. How can we show God our unending love? Who do we extend this type of hesed love to in our lives?

– Victoria Zibell
