We will spend the day with the Prophet Hosea and hear how Israel’s lack of fidelity to her relationship with her Lord is met repeatedly with God’s willingness to respond to her with forgiveness and reconciliation. In the give and take of this relationship, God’s faithful love remains steadfast. If there is a prophet who expresses in images the God of feeling, it is Hosea. From anger to compassion, Hosea leads us into the mystery of our God. Any time spent with Hosea and the God for whom he speaks should leave us with a profound sense of being loved beyond measure even as we acknowledge that have gone astray. Reading Hosea today invites us to step back and take a look where we might mirror this faithful love of God.
