Pope Benedict reminds us that the love of God is the "love that moves the sun and all the stars."
Dios solo basta: God alone suffices.
As we have been reading in the psalm 139 all week, that which gets intensified today, the psalmist reminds us of the essential character of God: "even there your hand shall guide me and your right hand hold me fast."
There is no place, no time, no condition in which the hand of God is not present.
"Even there" is the recognition of faith, a recognition that brings assurance and confidence as we tread this way and that through life's toil and drudgery.
"even there" reminds us of the "love that moves the sun and the stars, " the love that desires to move us to safety.
God is near he is always within calling distance.
Where ever we can imagine, place or time, even there his hand shall guide, even there.
