A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn O God. (Psalm 50)
Click to hear audio homily
Have a sense of compassion for your own journey, for your own leaving and returning;
a sense of, 'yes, yes, I'm loved when I take a risk. I'm loved even when I make
a mistake because somehow, it's an expression of my desire to claim myself. I did
it in a wrong way, but I didn't have any other way to do it at that moment'....Our
God awaits us with compassion and tenderness.
-Father Henri Nouwen
