I've been thinking a lot about God in action. My spiritual director talks about "God-acting" and this idea has stuck with me.
God never changes, and God created us. So if God once created, then God is always creating, because to stop creating would be to change. The Creator God is Creating God, always acting in every one of his creations to keep us going.
There's a second side to the image, too. God is always making us holy. We are sinful, human, full of mistakes, but God makes us holy, and God is always making us holy.
Perhaps that's good to remember when I feel especially sinful or unworthy of God's love. I'm worthy of God's love because God is making me holy--because God says I am worthy!
With that, I feel humbled by God's greatness.
About Me
- Sister Juliet, RSCJ
- In 2009, I discerned a call to religious life in Society of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ). Since then, my life has been a journey of joy and amazing experiences and friendships. Here is the story of some of them! The Society was founded in revolutionary France over 200 years ago, by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. It was brought to North America by St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in 1818. What attracted me to the RSCJ? Above all, from the moment I encountered the Society, I felt at home. My passion for education and for all humanity, my capacity for for relating to people and for compassion, these things and so much more let me know that I was finally "home." Since then, I have learned more and more about the Sacred Heart of Jesus and listening for God's heartbeat in the world.
