Self Giving Love
The family, therefore, acquires a new
dimension in the work of redemption. As
it gives love to all its members and receives from all, it expresses love for
God and the family; this love, then, by its very nature, expands unhampered
toward the Church and all humanity. (page 16)
We are called to continually grow in both our love for one
another and our capacity to share that love with the world around us.
Matthew 13:31-32
He proposed
another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a
person took and sowed in a field. i
It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of
plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in
its branches.
As we pray with these verses let us again ponder how God is
loving us, challenging us and calling us
to commit to express His love more fully.
Even when our efforts seem small, with His grace they can be larger than
we could ever imagine.
Dear Jesus please remind our family that we can and do
participate in your work of redemption
by the love we have for one another and those around us. Show us particularly today those most in need
of our love.
