"We remember Isaac, when he goes with Abraham to do the sacrifice: Isaac was not stupid, he realized that he was carrying the wood, the fire, but not the sheep for the sacrifice. He was stricken with anguish in his heart! And what does he say? ‘Father!’. And immediately the father replies 'Here I am my son!'. In the same way, Jesus, in the Garden of Olives, said 'with that anguish in his heart: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by!' And the angels came to give him strength. That’s how our Father is: He is a Father and a Father like this!" ~Pope Francis, 2/4/14 Homily
Father, I adore You
Lay my life before You
How I love You!
