Reflections

As we enter HOLY WEEK, the Lord invites us to reflect on what his suffering and death means to each one of us. . He invites us to come. COME AS YOU ARE: Come as you are, that’s how I love you. Come as you are, feel quiet at home. Close to my heart, loved and forgiven. Come as you are. Why stand alone? No need to fear, love knows no limits, No need to fear, love never ends. Don’t run away shamed and disheartened. Rest in my love, trust me again. I came to all sinners, not just the virtuous. I came to bring peace, not to condemn. Each time you fail to live by my promise. Why do you think I love you the less? Come as you are, That’s how I love you. Come as you are, trust me again Nothing can change the love that I bear you, All will be well, Just come as you are.
