Continuing in The Gospel Maximum of Love
It is possible to synthesize some basic principles
(that certainly do not exhaust the Gospel message) that give the essential
content of this maximum love:
·
we have a Father in heaven who loves us infinitely,
watches over us unceasingly, and has sent his only Son, having him accept death
for our salvation;
·
Jesus, the Word of God, has come among us to bring the
message of the Father, to make us one with himself as branches of a vine,
showing us concretely how we must live, and He died to merit for us the
strength to do this and to draw us to Himself with the example of His infinite
love;
What amazing truths these
words contain. There is no greater
maximum than laying down one’s life. And
as if that were not enough He wants to draw us to Himself and live in heaven
with us forever. We should truly spend
every day lost in amazement.
Dear Jesus, help us to truly
believe that you love each of us infinitely, those who know this now and those
who have yet to learn of your love.
Help us to truly appreciate your incomparable sacrifice.
