I Will Not Turn My Back On You Says The Lord!

I Will Not Turn My Back On You Says The Lord!

 

Love  by its essence, longs to be received.

In both the first reading (not included within the audio) and the Gospel are messages of love. What parent hasn’t longed to have their love received by someone? Often, we are hurt by someone who we love. We are hurt not because love is extended . . . but because the love extended was not received.

Often, we see the very people we love turn their back on us . . . and our love. At times, this might result in anger. This is what has happened in the first reading. The Homily explains what happens in the biblical story . . . what happens when people turn their back to the Lord. Hear more within the audio.

What we find is the Lord will not turn His back on us! All through scripture, there are numerous opportunities for the Lord to be done with us! Yet, He does not turn His back on us! He always extends His love to us!
