Love as God loves!
“Too good not to share” – that was my thought this morning after reading the meditation of the day I received from The Catholic Company Morning Offering. It has an email subscription service available, if your interested. Check out my Recommended Resources page for more information.
Excerpt taken from Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe:
We might say the whole mystery of our redemption in Christ, by his Incarnation, his death and his resurrection, consists of this marvelous exchange: in the heart of Christ, God has loved us humanly, so as to render our human hearts capable of loving divinely. God became man so that man might become God – might love as only God is capable of loving, with the purity, intensity, power, tenderness, and inexhaustible patience that belong to the divine love. It is an extraordinary source of hope and a great consolation to know that, by virtue of God’s grace working in us (if we remain open to it by persevering in faith, prayer, and the sacraments), the Holy Spirit will transform and expand our hearts to the point of one day making them capable of loving as God loves.
