In chapter one of the story of Ruth, we see the despair of Naomi after the tragedy of famine, death, and infertility in her family. But while she is still hopeless, God is already visiting her to provide in unbelievable ways.

The more Naomi, in her bitterness, pushes Ruth away the more loyally and fiercely Ruth clings to her. The more that Naomi blames God, the more that Ruth risks everything on the provision of God. In her pain, Naomi cannot see or feel the hand of God, but as Ruth clings to her, she’s holding it, and God’s holding her." —Fr. Trevor
