Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt. And in that day, says the Lord, you will call me. ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you
call me, ‘My Baal.’ And I will espouse you forever; I will espouse you in righteousness and injustice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. I will espouse you in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.” Hosea 2:14bc, 15cd-16, 19-20. St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things.
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You invite us to a faithful love that begins in our youth. You call us to a transformed love in which You alone are the Bridegroom of our lives. Make us new, Lord, and renew us to fulfill all that You ask of us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
