Sunday, April 6, 2014...5th Sunday of Lent

From today's Responsorial Psalm: 

 "With the Lord there is mercy and redemption" PS 130

Today's responsorial psalm reminds us that God is merciful and forgiving...we. as knitters,  frequently make mistakes; dropped stitches, an error in the flow of the pattern, or a ball of yarn that becomes hopelessly tangled...  but these are just  frustrating roadblocks along the way to the finished prayer shawl and God sees the beauty, not the mistakes, in our humble garments of love...just as He forgives our sinfulness; our mistakes along the way to everlasting life.
