The goal is to see yourself with the eyes of God,
which means to love yourself as God loves you.
--Dr. Gregory Bottaro, The Mindful Catholic
For our children, in the end, we are all foster parents. God is the real parent, and God’s love, care, aid and presence to our children is always in excess of our own. God’s anxiety for our children is also deeper than our own. God, like you, is also worrying, struggling, involved, crying tears of solicitousness, trying to awaken love.
