Contemplate the Gentleness of God

One of the most beautiful Hymns of the Liturgy of the Hours begins with
this verse: <<Who is God to love us so much...? >> In discerning the mystery
of the unspeakable love and tenderness of God for the humanity and for
the entire universe, the book of Claire Dumont, intertwined with
biblical wisdom, shares the experience of a believer who is always
seeking for a better answer to the unending question: Who indeed is God?







The reading of the Bible, as much as the experience of the humanity,
often heaves us into a scenario of violence that seems to obscure its
meaning. Nevertheless, gentleness and tenderness are brought forward
through countless witnesses and by an irrepressible desire for
compassion and peace.






It is in contemplating the gentleness of God the Father, Son and Spirit
- their unconditional love - , that we can assimilate and regain this
gentleness in the Church, in society, in families, in communities or in
small groups. By her simple approach, the author dares to witness with
great conviction and openness to this profound mystery.
