Isaiah 66:12, 19

We were made for love - to be held, seen, and delighted in by our first caregivers. Even the best parent fails, resulting in disappointment, loss, and injury. We need the loving care, nurture, and comfort of our God, who brings deep healing to our whole selves. In this 4-day plan, we soak in comfort, inviting the nearness and presence of God through the practice of Lectio Divina.

We deeply want to love God, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. St. Thérèse of Lisieux faced similar struggles. She searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her “little way of trust and absolute surrender” through Jesus. Discover how to rest in the love of your heavenly Father, allowing your faith to flourish.
