Repairing The Breach

Psalm 118:1 says, ‘O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever!’ We live in a world where the Love of God is an active, present force; we commit as individuals to a lifetime of transformation as we imitate Christ and the way of the Cross; and we work and pray towards a world where humanity moves from oppression and violence to self-sacrificial love towards one another. Because of that Love, there’s hope for humanity, because Love triumphed. Hosanna!
