Journey to Holiness: Love genuinely, without measure
March 16, 2019: Saturday, First week of Lent
Deuteronomy 26: 16-19; Matthew 5: 43-48
The Perfection that Christ expects from us is being like him, that is, being love! The love that we speak of is genuine love, a love that is seen even in odd times, specially in odd moments, in spite of odd times! It is not merely being kings and queens of good times! The key question here is: How enduring is your love?
Jesus becomes the epitome of love, not because he loved us when we were waiting to love him in return; but because he loved us even when we cared the least for his love; as St. Paul observes, he died for us even while we were sinners!
At time how calculative and how selective we become in sharing our love - is that truly Christ like? Loving genuinely, that is, without measure and without conditions; that is the call that we have today.
Holiness tip for today: Love, without calculating or measuring the cost!
