Love lost is still love. It takes a different form, that’s all. When senses weaken another heightens: memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it and hold it. You dance with it.” – Mitch Albom
- The memory of betrayal becomes the inspiration for love’s renewal. As it was for Peter, so it is for us. – Father Soc
Well, yes, Mitch Albom is quite right, for, may I add, love is never lost because otherwise, it is no love at all...and so, let's look at Peter: as Fr. Soc rightly points out, Peter was aware of his betrayal of Jesus thus, his deficient love, yet,struggles, as it were, with his fractured love to go on..and sum up the love. All that neatly balances in the realm of the divine, so to speak. In the ordinary and often scrambled equation of daily human relationships, a huge difference is difficult to reconcile between love-memory and love-deficit. But God's grace sets the common denominator...yay! for that! Because I love.
