TODAY’S WORD…

And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us.

God is love,

and those who live in love live in union with God

and God lives in union with them.

.

REFLECTION…

.

“…those who live in love live in union with God

and God lives in union with them.”

.

Do I live in love?

.

Am I living in union with God,

permitting that God lives in union with me?

.

.

.

WHAT IS LOVE…

.

“Love is patient and kind;

it is not jealous or conceited or proud;

love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable;

love does not keep a record of wrongs;

love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.

Love never gives up;

and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

Love is eternal.” (St. Paul – 1 Cor 13:4-8a)

.

Do I “live in love”?

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord Jesus, come live in me, take over, and fill me with Your love,

that I may live in love

and in union with You.
