you came to remind us
that we are all God's children,
brothers and sisters
in the Trinity.
You justify us
by your unfathomable love for us.
As St. Paul notes in his letter to the Romans (8:31b-35, 37),
nothing can separate us from you.
If God is for us,
nothing is against us...
except, perhaps, ourselves.
In hardship,
or distress,
or persecution,
or famine,
or nakedness,
or peril,
or violence,
you are with us.
You showed us how
to face all of these things
through your passion and death.
And though we may also face
insurmountable trials,
we rise with you.
In truly following you,
we learn to respond with love
even when we are afraid,
to trust you
no matter what.
And since you are love
and we are also responding with love,
nothing can ever come between us.
