One of the loveliest images in the Bible appears in Psalm 85. The psalmist laments Israel’s unfaithfulness, but then he promises that God will forgive and bless his people. “Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss.” Like lions lying down with lambs, justice kissing peace is something I don’t expect to see […]
Father John Catoir: God’s love has to overcome any fear of judgment
