“I found delight in the human race.” – Proverbs 8:22-31
“You have given him rule over the works of your hands. “- Psalm 8
“The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 5:1-5
“The Spirit will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” – John 16:12-15
Today’s gospel passage from John seems to indicate that through the Spirit, God will share Jesus’ knowledge of his intimate relationship with the Father with all of us. Why would God do this? If we look around the world today we see wars, assassinations, violence, hatred, and greed. God has given us dominion over the world that he created and we seem bent on destroying his creation. Yet, God still chooses to pour his love into our hearts. Why???
The answer comes at the end of the first reading God delights in us!!! Just as parents delight in every small action of a their children, God delights in you and me. There is nothing that we can do that will stop this God (who in the words of Catherine of Sienna is in crazy love with you) to continue to seek communion with us.
This brings me great relief to know that despite my flaws and failures, God still delights in me, pours his love into my heart, and calls me to participate in the dance of love with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Viva Cristo Rey!
