Earsplitting Love

I am so very happy for this Jubilee year of the priest.

As always Lord, your Love shouts loudest in the most humbling situations: in a newborn lying in a manger, in a carpenter, in a man riding on a donkey, in the washing of feet, in Your last breath drawn while hanging on the Cross, in the very gift of Yourself: a tiny Crumb of Bread. So You choose a simple man, full of weakness and limitations, a sinner, a priest – You break bread and give to all with his hands, You breathe life to the world through his lungs. In every priest Lord, Your love is so loud it is deafening.
