Living out of love, the magnetic center of our being, is Jesus’ Good News to us. The world needs this more than ever. What will it look like in today’s world?

 Living out of love, the magnetic center of our being, is Jesus’ Good News to us. The world needs this more than ever. What will it look like in today’s world?

That is up to us. Perhaps the words of St. Paul to the Corinthians might help:

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to love’s forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure."

-love one another like He loved us

 WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER-love one another like he  loved us-03-06-24 Jesus makes us understand that religious rules are necessary, they are good, but they are only the beginning: to fulfil them, it is necessary to go beyond the letter and live their meaning. The commandments that God gave us should not be locked up in the airless vaults of formal observance; otherwise, we are limited to an exterior, detached religiosity, servants of “God the master” rather than children of “God the Father”.

 WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER-live our lives with love-02-26-24 “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (v. 36). It is not a catchphrase, but a life commitment. (..) If we look at the history of salvation, we see that the whole of God’s revelation is an unceasing and untiring love for mankind: God is like a father or mother who loves with an unfathomable love and pours it out abundantly on every creature. Jesus’ death on the Cross is the culmination of the love story between God and man.  A love so great that God alone can understand it. It is clear that, compared to this immeasurable love, our love will always be lacking. But when Jesus calls us to be merciful like the Father, he does not mean in quantity! He asks his disciples to become signs, channels, witnesses of his mercy. The Church can be nothing other than a sacrament of God’s mercy in the world, at every time and for all of mankind. Every Christian, therefore, is called to be a witness of mercy, and this happens a...
