A priest once told me that if you are unsure if something is of God, substitute the word “Love” for the word “God” when speaking of it. If the word substitution does not work, then what you are speaking of is not of God because God is the embodiment of love. And how evident is God’s love in today’s Palm Sunday readings. St. Teresa of Avila got it — and it is her gift to us on today’s Lenten Journey.
Join The Dialog again this year on Our Lenten Journey. Each day, we will bring you a thought to start your morning — a quote from a saint, a passage from scripture, or thoughts from theologians — along with a links to each day’s readings and other Lent-related topics.
