A Lenten Pilgrimage

Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. (Isaiah 49:15)
Are we aware of God’s unconditional mother-like love for us? Are we even capable of such awareness, when we go through difficult and painful moments in our lives? In an ideal world that awareness should even be easy. But we live in a real world and we are human beings, not human should-beings. It is perfectly natural and understandable to feel abandoned by a seemingly distant God in such moments. However feelings, which do affect us, do not really define who we are and I submit that in calmer moments, when the pain is not present, we can be restored by God to the awareness of God’s love for us, an awareness that will always remain a gift. A gift we need to pray for.
