motherhood of God


Beside the Bible in my room is a wooden carving from Congo: a tall mother with three babies - in front, at the back and another swinging on her legs! She is God's picture for me: maternal love without limits. A perfect visual commentary for this Monday's Word of God: "Give and it will be given to you - good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back." (Lk 6:38)
