The gospel for today is Jesus being confronted with the question of divorce. It is a particularly difficult lesson for me, since I have known divorce personally and with others. There will always be a certain amount of "judgment"; knowing I have not lived into the expectations of God, the Church, myself. And that is how I read this lesson. There is a huge divide between God's vision for us, and how we will live together and enjoy life together, and how we actually live. I, and many others, have fallen short, and yet I do not give up on the vision that lies before me - a vision God has had from the beginning. I pray each day for the grace and humility to live into the vision, and the forgiveness from God and others that allows me to do so.
