"Just as our flesh is covered by clothing, and our blood is covered by our flesh, so are we, soul and body, covered and enclosed by the goodness of God. Yet, the clothing and the flesh will pass away, but the goodness of God will always remain and will remain closer to us than our own flesh.
"God only desires that our soul cling to him with all of its strength, in particular, that it clings to his goodness. For all of the things our minds can think about God, it is thinking upon his goodness that pleases him most and brings the most profit to our soul."
-Julian of Norwich
Jesus on a cross... dying... praying for us, for our forgiveness... Here is the goodness I will be dwelling on today - on this Good Friday. I pray that I can cling to it with all my strength.
