Weekend Reflections for 2/13/15

February 13, 2015  /  Joe Parisi

 

LOVE

God is Love.  God/Love is infinite and unlimited.  But we live in an imperfect, limited and finite world which God created.  Our goal is to reach God and be united with him who is love.

  

How do we grow in love in this created, imperfect world?  We believe that God created every human person because he loves them.  How do we show God our love?  We show God our gratitude and love by obeying Jesus' two commandments: 1) to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength and 2) to love your neighbor as yourselves.  To give money to a very poor person, to visit a sick or lonely person, to carry heavy packages for an elderly person are actions expressing love.  We will never love perfectly in this life, but this is the opportunity Jesus gives us.

  

In heaven we will experience God's infinite love which he will share with us and we will love every human person and every person will love us.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THOSE ON RETREAT THIS WEEK AS WELL AS OUR DECEASED RETREATANTS.

 

PLEASE PRAY FOR PEACE IN OUR COMMUNITY
