TODAY’S WORD…

.

Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love –

and the greatest of these is love.

.

– 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NLT)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

It is God Himself who infuses these three virtues into our soul

together with the grace of salvation

– that permanent disposition that perfects the soul itself

to enable it to live with God and to act by His love.

.

Love is founded on faith and hope,

and it is through faith and hope

that we derive the knowledge of truth

and the consequent goodness and patience which bring us close to God.

.

Love is interested in God for God’s sake

– to be with God,

and not for anything that God may give.

In other words, love desires God for God’s

sake and not for its own.

QUOTE…

.

“Love never gives up;

and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.”

– St. Paul (1 Cor 13:7)
