“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
“…always is it that theirs [loving forgiveness] will never be erased from my memory nor from my heart.”
Such a love that Eugene lived. He was a very human person, yet he opened his heart to all – affording a small glimpse of some of his sorrows. I think of the passion and vehemence with which he scratched out the name of Icard, yet I am sure that Eugene did not stop loving him – that is where the sorrow comes into this. “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” (Lk 23:34)
While Jesus was betrayed and crucified he also forgave with a love that trumped all else. Forgiveness is something that the lover might struggle with, might seem overwhelmed with, yet eventually love will conquer all. We struggle with the remembered pain even as we yearn to love. It is love that creates us: love is the basis of all conversion and which once given can never be taken back. It is with great love and respect that the potter’s hands form us into works of love.
“We remember how you loved us to your death
And still we celebrate, for you are with us here…
We remember, we celebrate, we believe.” (John Michael Talbot)
