“There is no place for selfishness and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice” - JPII How can we fear when we love? Is it SLOTH that gets in the way? Sloth is not a physical mole, but one of the soul. #Love

Life, without a doubt, is a miracle; a loving act from God. We are compelled to love since we are created in his image; we are capable to love, and with that love, we ought to live our lives searching to give our lives to the services of others. This is not an easy practice, we find challenges daily; but we need to consider that we live in a privileged area because we are not being persecuted inasmuch as the middle eastern. Are we ready to deposit our lives truly in the hands

If we could only see the way Jesus sees; we would be peacemakers, and blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Through his eyes, every single one of us is seen with love. This is expected as He is love; after all, he is always calling all of us. We ought to try, it is worth every single breath of life we posses. #Love

Life would be easier if we just simply loved everything; if we got away from the vague emotions, and look into the life Christ offers us daily. He will never be tired of His unconditional love; Being Love is His Nature as He is the Son of the Father. Everything would be much easier, if we allow Him to be the Pillar of our lives. Not verbally, but incarnated. Then, we can truly be happy; living in His eternal grace. #Love

How could we describe love and beauty to someone who is blind and deaf? It is really to describe any of these for a person with use of all his senses, but when we encounter someone in privation of such; then we have a real challenge. Now, we tend to think of people deprived of these gifts from the above, but in reality, many of us could be deprived; for we have eyes, and we don't see, we have ears and we don't listen. It ought to be easier to love those without their senses,

The purest Heart we should love, is the one of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is there where all humanity can truly be redeemed, His Heart is the fountain of joy, love, peace and Grace. Those who come to him shall never thirst, shall never fear, shall never return to a meaningless life. Jesus is the Way, he calls us. Never be afraid of Him, after all, it is normal to be scared. Who wouldn't be scared in the presence of the almighty? But when we realize the power of His love, our f

One of the things we are sure about in Christianity is that, Jesus is highly demanding and wants us to trust him, to be fearless in his love. Throughout the bible, we find multiple instances where He assures us of His presence. He has stated: " I am with you always, to the end of time;" therefore, there is truly nothing to fear. If we believe it, then we must know it, hence we cannot be worrying about what is coming next. After all, the Truth will always make us free. #Fearle

Some people see help as a sign of weakness and they may be right, it is our weakness. A weakness to love, a weakness for compassion, a weakness for the eyes of the Lord in our neighbor. A weakness just like Veronica's when desperately runs towards the Lord to wipe his face, because she couldn't bear his acute pain in her heart. That is the weakness moved by love and St. Paul claims: "For when I am weak, I am strong". So Lord, may we find weakness in our hearts to love our bro
