‘In the Evening We Shall Be Examined on Love’. I have never heard that phrase before. I love it.
kintsugi – mending ceramics with gold resin to make something more precious than the original. I love that. There is something redemptive (and prophetic?) about it!

I won’t repeat what others have already said, but what you wrote about God creating beauty from the broken pieces we offer him brought to mind the Japanese art of kintsugi – mending ceramics with gold resin to make something more precious than the original. And the recurring ‘there is only love’ reminded me of Thomas Centolella’s poem based on a phrase from St John of the Cross, ‘In the Evening We Shall Be Examined on Love’. Thanks for your writing.

I used to wonder HOW the Lord could restore the years of the locusts, but now I have NO doubt that he can, and will, if he ask him to.
It is because he is immensely creative, and created our universe out of nothing, dust, mud…

Have we not all felt that way? Even the perfectionists that apologize for their dirty house, when it is cleaner than mine when it is cleaned?
The Lord will restore the years of the locusts.
