Someone once asked: Have you ever fallen in love? If we have known the bliss of truly falling in love with someone else, perhaps we can appreciate the motivation to always want the best for that other person, for no other reason than the desire for that person's happiness.
If we have indeed experienced this bliss, perhaps we have a glimpse at understanding what Jesus was communicating in today's gospel passage: As the Father loves me, so I also love you (Jn 15:9). Our heavenly Father loves us with divine love which far exceeds the limits of human love.
As we contemplate this truth, let us ask the Lord to share with us the great depth of His love for us: to help us fall in love again. His is a love that surpasses our deepest desire and fills up every one of our hopes. It is enough for us to ask and our God will warm our hearts and shower us with this gift. What a wonderful blessing it is to be loved so deeply!
Have a great day.
