| Purple cloth of the type sold by Lydia of Thyatira in the First Century |
IF YOU CONSIDER ME A BELIEVER IN THE LORD,
COME AND STAY AT MY HOME.
I am fond of Lydia, dealer in purple cloth—she worshipped God and listened. The Lord opened her heart, or rather, Lydia’s heart was pierced by LOVE. The Lord takes delight in his people.
SHE PREVAILED ON US.
CONVERT OUR HEARTS, LORD,
SO THAT LOVE MAY SPREAD HERE ON EARTH.
(Pope Francis, Twitter, May 7, 2018)
