"And hope does not disappoint us for the love of God has been poured out into our hearts." (Rom. 5:5)

The love of God the Father

January 17, 2014 Sr. Dorcee, belovedLeave a comment

“God knows not how to be anything other than love, he knows not how to be anyone other than the Father. Those who love are not envious and the one who is the Father is so in his totality. This name admits no compromise, as if God were father in some aspects and not in others”.  (St. Hilary of Poitiers)

Welcome to Witnesses to Hope!

"Bring your lamp to those without light, enkindle the flame of love in those without hope." (Tagore) ~from a holy card I picked up in Rome in 2005 . . . I began this blog as a place to share some of the things that have increased my hope during challenging times--with the hope that it may do the same for others as well. I welcome your comments.
