The noun, rumination, means a deep considered thought about something. 

As I am writing this Rumination reflection it is Monday of Holy Week. 

I find myself not wanting to write an article about something which may have a deeper meaning other than writing about how much Jesus loves us. 

Jesus, our loving Lord, faced unbelievable rejection and disrespect in His life despite only helping and serving others. He suffered the cruelest and most horrific of deaths to save us from our sins out of love for us. He taught us how to live so we can be with God for all eternity. 

What more could He have done!

I am left with a deep sense of wonder and awe that we each are loved so much. 

Thank you, dear Jesus, for that love. May we show our gratitude by loving you (and God the Father and the Holy spirit) with our whole heart, mind and soul and loving our neighbors as ourselves. May God gives us this grace.
