The Word of the Lord.

Yes indeed, as a good father pities his children when they are sad, as a good father loves his obedient children, so it is the same with God: whenever those who know him, respect him, and fear him as in obeying him with love, he is with them. If his children are sad, he weeps with them. If his children are misbehaving, he corrects them. If his children are at the moment not loving to him, he will still love them, for God's Love is unconditional and unlimited. So let us therefore not stray away from God, but keep close to his wonderful self. Amen.
