In his homily today, Fr. Baker mentioned something about Jesus sweeping us off our feet, and I just got stuck with an image in my head of Jesus coming along and scooping me up into His arms. And I think the first image that came in my head was of the Church like the Bride of Christ and Jesus just sweeping each of us into His arms. But the other image was that of a child who's fallen down. And even though he looks hurt, he's got a look on his face that says, "I want to do this alone. I'm a big kid." So, his dad stands there and watches him, but the second the kid starts to cry, when he screams out, "Daddy!" his dad swoops in without hesitation and scoops him into his arms.

I'm praying for you!
