Come Before The Father poor and in need - a beggar

God extends special attention to the poor, defenseless, says Pope

Portion of text only…

… “This Divine royalty”, he said, “is not arrogant or haughty, as can sometimes happen with the exercise of human power. God expresses His royalty by inclining before the most fragile and defenseless of creatures."

“God”, the Pope went on, “is, above all else, a Father who sustains those who are about to fall and lifts back up again those who have fallen in the dust of humiliation.”
Because of this, he said that “Living beings are directed therefore to the Lord, as hungry beggars, and as a loving Father He offers the necessary nourishment to live.”…

Thank you for posting this for all to read. It’s truthful and very beautiful.

Jesus is King of the World and of Heaven, yet not like any king of this world, He is humble and casts off His royalty so that mere humans may be robed in His royalty.

Thanks again

Hi Blessed Star…beautifully insighted as an aspect of Pope Benedict’s words in the article…and reflecting the prayer at Mass…make us sharers in Your Divinity, who humbled Himself to share in our humanity".
And yet we do come before his Glorious and Supreme Humility, total beggars to a King who will not deny one any good. His Glorious Humility humbles one to the dust.

Thank you for the comments BS…Barb, Sth. Aust.
