June 26, 2014

An excerpt from Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation The Joy of the Gospel:

"Lord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my covenant with you. I need you. Save me once again, Lord, take me once more into your redeeming embrace."
