The most essential thing in our life is a desire to love God.
In today’s readings, we hear stories of love and learn that God – the light of our lives – will allow us to experience it in its truest form as long as we abide by His Word.
If we are to feel love, we must distance ourselves from the temptations of the wicked and focus on the ‘Three C’s of Life.’
- Contemplate: We must not dwell on the evil and heinous sins which occur daily. Instead, we should embrace the mercy and love of God; for God’s love far surpasses the acts of the wicked.
- Courage: We must always have the courage to walk in God’s light and do what is right.
- Compassion: We must be able to empathize with those less fortunate, no matter their situation, and we must be charitable to them.
Is your family following the ‘Three C’s of Life?’ If not, what are some ways you can work together in order to implement contemplation, courage, and compassion into your life?
God, may we always strive to shine in your light. Amen.
