Surely it's only divine love that can truly fill us with the fullness of life again and raise us up to life eternal. Drawn near. Embraced. Healed. Forgiven. Included. And always loved. +++++ References: Fr Paul W. Kelly Doyle, D. (2020). This Poem Gives Such A Great Perspective On How Powerful and Yet Tender Our Lord Is! [online] FaithHub.
