So, Spring is on its way! Love's in the air ... or is it? What is
love? How do we express love? Where can love be found?
Love is the ultimate giving of oneself to another. It is infinite
compassion. It is total dedication. It is, in the terms of the
Catholic Church, the bond between the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. It is the force that brought Jesus to Earth, the force that
caused the Father to send His only Son, and the force that enabled the
Son to sacrifice Himself for all of Humanity.
We express our love for one another by acting always in their best
interests, but we must be careful to discover these interests
independently of ourselves. This means that we do not choose the best
thing for them that we want, but instead choose the best thing for
them, period. Ultimately, there is only one who knows this best good:
God Himself.
Love can be found in God, and in all in whom God dwells. Make
absolute certain that God dwells in you, at every moment of your life!
This means remaining free from sin. If you do have the misfortune to
fall into sin, fly to the Church and the blessed Sacraments. The Most
Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love, so reception of this Holy
Sacrament will surely bring much love into your life!
Live in Love always, live in Verus Amor!
In Christ, Through the Immaculata,
