Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Reflecting on the exhortation to love God above all things and one’s neighbor as oneself (Mt 22:37-40; Mk 12:30-31; Lk 10:27), as well as the corresponding exhortation to love others as Christ has loved us (Jn 15:11), Fr. Eric talks about how authentic love of God must always be reflected in genuine love of one’s neighbor.
Fr. Eric cites the example of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s reflection on Psalm 68, as articulated in “33 Days to Morning Glory” (Stockbridge: Marian Press, 2018) by Fr. Michael Gaitley, to expound upon the notion of consoling the Sacred Heart of Jesus and quenching Christ’s thirst for souls through our service of other people in our community, especially those who are most in need.
Other topics include how to console Christ through His Head and Body in the sense of the Mystical Body of Christ; and the need to recognize the thirst of other people to be noticed, understood and loved, which conduces ultimately to the universal thirst for God.
Fr. Eric concludes with a petition to give generously to ShareLife, which is the official charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Here is a link for those who wish to donate online: www.sharelife.org/donate.
