| The Return of the Prodigal Son by Rembrandt |
Does living in the world, makes us want to be a somebody, or do we just want to be one? What happens when we fall short of our expectations, even when we have given our very best?
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity writes "..... the abyss of our nothingness encounters the Abyss of Mercy ... the immensity of the all of God"
[From Elizabeth of the Trinity The Complete Works Volume One; Heaven in Faith (First Day, Second Prayer) ]
