NEWSLETTER 29.10.23

27/10/2023 by John

Dear Friends,

“Lord, give me this one grace: to love you above all and love all in You.”

The central theme of today’s readings is the greatest commandment in the Bible, namely, to respond to God’s love for us by loving Him, and then to express that love in action by loving Him loving our neighbour. Our love for God is tested and put into practice by the way we love our neighbour.

Loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, in response to His total love for us, means that we should place God’s will ahead of ours, seek the Lord’s will in all things, and make it paramount in our lives. There are several means by which we can express our love for God and our gratitude to Him for His blessings, acknowledging our total dependence on Him.  We need to keep God’s Commandments, and offer daily prayers of thanksgiving, praise and petition. We also need to read and meditate on His word in the Bible and accept His invitation to join Him in the Mass and other liturgical functions. Let the love of God and love of our neighbour encompass our whole life.

Father Peter
