LOVE OF GOD

Love of God, cannot be taken for granted. If we do not nurture and take care of it, it dies. On the other hand, difficulties in life, set it ablaze and confirm us in it, if our world holds steadfastly in God. Love of God is nourished in prayer, and in the reception of the sacraments, in the constant struggle against our defects, in the unceasing effort to maintain a living presence of Him who loves us ( Divine Intimacy ) throughout the whole of our working day, in our relations with others, even in our times of rest… The Eucharist above all must be the spring, at which our love of God perpetually, refreshed and strengthen. In a way, to love thus is already to possess Heaven on earth.
