Today Cardinal Sarah talks about how Christ assumed human form to confront us with his absolute love. I have been confronted by a human being but not confronted with Love. It is hard to comprehend that, but it is true.
Cardinal Sarah goes on to say that God’s only power is to love in silence. That brings me to immediately think the passion of Jesus, where he remained silent even when he was being questioned by Pilot. That was the silence of his love, the love that bore our sins and died for our transgressions.
But that is not all, Cardinal Sarah then talks about how St. Augustine and St. John of the Cross went through their own desert experience where they encounter God’s love; they were confronted by God’s love in this silence.
Take away: When you arevconfronted by God, are you like I used to be and ran away? Or do you allow him to walk with you during your desert experience allowing him to love you through your struggles?
Where in your life do you need God to confront you?
