Prayer: Catharine of Genoa
O love, your bonds are so sweet and so strong... so firm and so close that they are never broken. Those who are bound by this chain are so united that they have but one will and one aim... In this union there is no difference between rich and poor, between nation and nation. All contradiction is excluded, for by this love crooked things are made straight and difficulties reconciled.
I needed to read this tonight especially to know that God's bonds are strong so I don't need to be afraid. No one is excluded. Thank you.
