He first loved us ...

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in you.
One summer day in Montreal ... many tears ago.
This is where it began - my return to the sacraments.


“It is not us who first loved God,” it's the other way around: “it is He who loved us first” he said. 
The Pope said the prophets used the symbol of the almond blossom to explain this reality highlighting the fact that the almond blossom is the first to bloom in spring. 
“God is like that: he is always first. He's the first to wait for us, the first to love us, the first to help us” he said. - Pope Francis, Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
