The Lord is Compassion and Love

So true. We are studying Genesis in women's bible study and I am teaching on Abraham right now and trying to remind the ladies each session that all of salvation history is a Love story between each of us and God. God established a relationship with Abraham, each of the patriarchs, that is unique and personal yet at the same time collective. Our relationships with others is a reflection of our relationship with God. This is the "righteousness" which is the seed of faith that forms us in charity. The relationship grows through prayer. Pure love drives out fear.

“These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world” (Diary, 441). “Tell sinners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from My Merciful Heart, they will fall into My Just Hands” (Diary, 1728).
