Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS, on Thistle and God's Love

"It's that time again!  It is time to get into the garden. This year, I've got some help. Fr. Stew moved into our community last fall, and his favorite task?  Pulling weeds.

"Weeds are a reality in every garden.  My particular nemesis: thistle.  These invasive plants are nearly impossible to eradicate.  They send out underground runners that slip into even the most protected beds.  Pull them, and they return. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on the similarities between God's love and thistle.
