The word “worth” comes up frequently in our society today. Sometimes when it comes to the word worth, we don’t see ourselves being worthy at all. How do we think of worth when it comes to our relationship with God? Do we truly value ourselves? Not in a prideful way, but do we see ourselves as God sees us? God sees us for who we really are. We are not worthless. We are worth more than the sin maybe we are in. We are worthy of his love and his help. We need to accept his love, and his grace. 

Fr. Carlson shares the poem titled “The Touch of the Master’s Hand” by Myra Welch. So often we too are battered and scarred. So often we can feel like an old, worthless violin. When we let God touch us, he makes us a new creation.
