While sin may distort and disfigure the image of Christ that every person bares, it does not completely erase it, nor does it remove people from God's abundant mercy, Pope Francis said at his weekly general audience on Dec. 2. “Even when a sinner remains "in error for a long time," God waits patiently, "hoping that the sinner's heart will eventually open and change." "God is like a good father and a good mother: They never stop loving their child, no matter what he or she may have done wrong," the pope said.
In his main talk, the pope reflected on blessings, which, he said, are "an essential dimension of prayer." Noting that there is a "continual repetition of blessings" in the first pages of the Bible, the pope said that both God and humankind give blessings, and that a blessing "possesses a special power that accompanies the person who receives it throughout his or her entire life and disposes the person's heart to allow God to change it."
Even though sin "altered" the beauty of God's creation and converted the human being into "a degenerate creature capable of spreading evil and death in the world," it did not take away the inherent goodness embedded in each person, he said. God did not make a mistake creating the world or people, he said.
"The hope of the world lies entirely in God's blessing: He continues to desire our good; he is the first, as the poet Peguy said, to continue to hope for our good," the pope said, citing the French poet Charles Peguy, whose works were heavily influenced by Catholicism.
Departing from his prepared remarks, Pope Francis drew a comparison between God's love for all and the love of countless mothers who wait in long lines to visit their children in prison. "They do not stop loving their children, and they know that the people who pass by in the bus are thinking, 'Ah, that is the mother of that prisoner,'" he said. "Yet they are not ashamed of this, or rather, they are ashamed, but they keep going because their child is more important than shame." "Thus, for God, we are more important than all the sins we can commit because he is a father, he is a mother, he is pure love, he has blessed us forever. And he will never stop blessing us," the pope said.
GOD’S LOVE IS
UNCONDITIONAL

Pray for Friends and
Family Who Are Very Ill
Intercessory prayers can be very helpful not only for those who are ill but for those who are caring for them. While we are all free to offer prayers for any intention, this particular prayer list is intended for those who have suffered a serious injury or who have fallen very ill. Our prayers can help to get them back on course.

David & Jo have been active members of our parish family for many decades. He had the example of his parents, Virginia & Richard Schweikhart, who were Catholic to the core. David was a member of the Knights of Columbus (third and fourth degree); and a good and faithful steward of his time, talent, and treasure. We extend our deepest condolences to Jo, their children, and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
