We owe all we have, our very souls, to Jesus Christ. God wants our lives to overflow with mercy and generosity toward each other, to share love just as He did with us through Christ, the Gentle Lamb who gave up His life for our sake. Today let us reflect on one of Christ’s last encounters with the Apostles Peter when he asked him three times, “Do you love me?”
Love for Christ shines forth through our love for each other. As fishers of men, inspired by His Holy Spirit, we should constantly give back by feeding His sheep, whether strangers or our closest family. When we truly love Jesus, we work diligently to bring others to meet Him at the gates of Heaven.
Dedicated time to God in prayer is needed for the conversion of our hearts and to strengthen our wills to following Christ (CCC #2708). By familiarizing ourselves with the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, we can begin to emulate the example that God has given us through the Holy Trinity. How infinitely blessed we are for God to share such love with the whole world!
