The movement of love
between Father, Son and Spirit
runs through our history,
and Christ draws us
to himself
in order to save us.
At the centre of our faith
is the confession of
Jesus,
the Son of God,
born of a woman,
who brings us,
through the gift of the Holy Spirit,
to adoption
as sons and daughters.
– Francis, Lumen Fidei, 59 –
These are just two lines from the end of the encyclical Lumen Fidei. Each phrase could be a sermon in itself. They were so succinct and perfect, that I chose to set them in poetic form, different from their original prose setting in a magisterial document. You might also be interested in the related readings behind this text: Jn 12: 32; Gal 4: 4.
You can find my 5 part series on Lumen Fidei at Patheos.
