Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Only recently have I become a devotee of the Catholic writer Flannery O’Connor, although her collection of short stories sat on my bookshelf for many years.
The First Letter of John has been a favorite Scripture for years. It reminds me of the depths of God’s love in Jesus Christ and the call to allow grace to transform all of us in love. “God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as He is, so are we in the world” (1 Jn 4:16-17). This is the challenge, the call to each Christian. This is the grace that we need to pray for each day that “as He is, so are we in the world.”
