Bishop Fulton Sheen: God Loves You — Even When You Are Unlovable
With Bishop Fulton J. SheenAbout This Prayer
Bishop Fulton Sheen delivers a profound truth that cuts to the heart of the Gospel: God does not love us because we are lovable — He makes us lovable by loving us. Long before we were worthy, useful, or even friendly toward Him, God placed His love within us. Using a striking analogy, Sheen explains how human love often depends on attraction or merit, but divine love does not. God loved us even when we were His enemies. Just as a mother pours love into her child regardless of what the child can give back, God pours His love into us first — and that love transforms us. This reflection reveals the radical, unearthly nature of God’s love: a love that rescues, sacrifices, and redeems, not because we deserve it, but because He is Love itself.
