For Divine Mercy Sunday "semper iterum incipere"

[goout]

“Always begin again.” I love this phrase and wonder if anyone knows who used this. I’ve seen it attributed to St Augustine.
It expresses a powerful truth that we should never stagnate in our faith as if we have fully arrived. We are always drawn towards God and should patiently endure that gap between God and ourselves, between who we are and who we are called to be.

I thought of it more as meaning that we’re always going to fall down, but we always need to get up and start again.
“Stagnating in our faith” is a form of falling down, but there are lots of other ways.
We begin again after big life changes, deaths in the family, births in the family, when we have been away from Jesus or the church and we come back.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

The gap is closed through our cooperation with the grace of the Holy Trinity in the purification of mind and body and contemplation.
