Why do you hate yourself?

You are made in the image of God. Before you were conceived he knew you and he loved you. The God of the universe thought you were worth creating; you are not here for no purpose. He chose you and made you and you are loved, more than you can conceive of.

So I ask again, why do you hate yourself?

Is it because of the sin within you, that you alone know the full extent of? Fear not, beloved, for he knows the fullest extent, more than even you are aware of, and yet he loves you in spite of it all. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Would you hate your fellow man as you hate yourself?

Would you not give them the grace you deny to yourself? You are human as they, fallible, stumbling yet striving to reach the goal. Neither you nor they are perfect: far from it. You are still loved and cherished.

Even in the valley of the shadow of death, he is still there, and he will always be with you. Have courage, beloved. He has overcome the world.

France and the rest of Europe, you are not paying attention!
