And indeed the Lord assures us in his love: I do not wish the death of the sinner, but that he turn back to me and live (Ezek 33:11). RB80.Prologue.38
In today's passage, Benedict reminds of us God's mercy and patience towards us. God does not take pleasure in my pain and misery. God waits for me to turn back and start anew.
This assurance is heartening--especially somedays when it feels that I am constantly turning back from my intended path. God's patience and love waits for me to realize my mistakes or wrong choices and to turn back on a straighter path. I find comfort in that and pray always for that awareness.
How am I turning back to God today?
