In the River of God’s Love:
The love of God is like an infinite river…it flows with an irresistible power, and its deep current is unhindered. You and I are in the river of God’s love. If we swim with the tide, we will float along with that love. It will bring us to wherever we are supposed to be.
Rejection – Faith:
In today’s Gospel, Jesus cautioned His disciples to expect rejection and persecution. When we face objection, rejection and “persecution” in what we want to do for God, do we give-in or put up a fearless fight because God’s Will is most important in our life?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's live intimately united with Him, since one who loves tends to be united with the one loved. The fusing of two souls is done through love.
- Saint Terese of the Andes (1900-1920)
We deem it opportune to remind our children of their duty to take an active part in public life and to contribute toward the attainment of the common good of the entire human family as well as to that of their own political community.
They should endeavor, therefore, in the light of their Christian faith and led by love, to insure that the various institutions—whether economic, social, cultural or political in purpose—should be such as not to create obstacles, but rather to facilitate or render less arduous man’s perfecting of himself in both the natural order and the supernatural.... Every believer in this world of ours must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying leaven amidst his fellow men. And he will be this all the more perfectly, the more closely he lives in communion with God in the intimacy of his own soul
- Blessed Pope John XXIII, Peace on Earth, 146, 164
