As the Psalmist joyfully proclaims that God’s mercy and kindness endure forever. God never abandons or forsakes us. We are the work of God’s hands. As Julian of Norwich (1343-1416) reminded the church 650 years ago: “All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.” As Julian says, “Love holds us fast and will not let us go.”
