Pope Benedict continues to share the riches of his mind and heart despite the aging of his body. May the Lord grant him many more years to teach and lead us, AMEN!
The Restless Heart of God
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Friday, January 06, 2012 11:40 AM
You must read the Holy Father’s homily for Epiphany this year.
The whole thing is quotable, but I’ll whet your whistle with this:
The restless heart of which we spoke earlier, echoing Saint Augustine, is the heart that is ultimately satisfied with nothing less than God, and in this way becomes a loving heart. Our heart is restless for God and remains so, even if every effort is made today, by means of most effective anaesthetizing methods, to deliver people from this unrest. But not only are we restless for God: God’s heart is restless for us. God is waiting for us. He is looking for us. He knows no rest either, until he finds us. God’s heart is restless, and that is why he set out on the path towards us – to Bethlehem, to Calvary, from Jerusalem to Galilee and on to the very ends of the earth.

As a naturally “impatient” personality myself, it really resonates with me to think of God as “impatient” to deepen his relationship with me, too! Incidentally, Rich Mullens (sp?) has a great song about “the restless, raging river / that is the love of God.”
