I can SO connect to the paragraph about faith and Edith Steiner. It is a balm to me today. It is so encouraging, both that my faith is well placed but also how the "things that are left undone. . . all the reasons to be embarrassed and ashamed" are not enough to overcome Jesus's love for me. Rather, they are things to give to Him for He, the Great Physician to wrap in the great balm of salvation (at its root, a salve); to make me whole; and, somehow, to use everyone and everything that I let down or hurt to build His kingdom.
Thank you, Helen. What a lovely meditation.
