The text, “God so loved the world,” (Jn 3:16) shows such an intensity of love.
For great indeed and infinite is the distance between the two.
The immortal, the infinite Majesty, without beginning or end, loved those who were but dust and ashes,
who were loaded with ten thousand sins but remained ungrateful even as they constantly offended Him.
This is who He “loved.”
For God did not give a servant, or an angel or even an archangel, but “His only begotten Son.”
And yet no one would show such anxiety even for his own child
as God did for His ungrateful servants……
Consecrated Sisters
The word “consecrated” means separated from common use to sacred use; by which a person or a thing is dedicated to the service and worship of God by prayers, rites, and ceremonies. Following in the footsteps of the Mother of God, many females responded to the call of service and virginity. St. Phoebe was a deaconess who helped St. Paul (Rom 16:1-2).
