Whoever remains in love remains in God!

St. Raymond of Penyafort
Dear Family of Mary!
We have been reading from the 1st Letter of John at Holy Mass with week. Here is part of the reading for today:
1John 4:16b-19
We have come to know and to believe
in the love God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever remains in love remains in God
and God in him.
In this is love brought to perfection among us,
that we have confidence on the day of judgment
because as he is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love,
but perfect love drives out fear
because fear has to do with punishment,
and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.
We love, because he first loved us.
This famous passage from St. John is an inexhaustable source of light and truth. It is so important, so powerful that we could pray with it every day! Our Lady often speaks about love in similar ways. Here is one such message:
June 25, 1988
“Dear children!
I am calling you to that love
which is loyal and pleasing to God.
Little children,
love bears everything bitter and difficult
for the sake of Jesus who is love.
Therefore, dear children,
pray that God come to your aid,
not however according to your desire,
but according to His love.
Surrender yourself to God
so that He may hear you, console you
and forgive everything inside you
which is a hindrance on the way of love.
In this way God can move your life,
and you will grow in love.
Dear children,
glorify God with a hymn of love
so that God’s love may be able
to grow in you day by day to its fullness.
Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Our Lady calls us to let God’s love work through us! God’s love is powerful. It can move mountains! We have only to surrender to Him, and receive His love in such a way that we will be able to love others with His love. His love will change the world!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
