My friend Shelray over at Cosmos Liturgy Sex always has posts that make me think! I am grateful for all that I have learned from regularly reading this blog!
Today I read this over at COSMOS~LITURGY~SEX: "Love is always true. Never a lie. Love is always the glory of God. Never the glorification of man. Love always carries us to goodness. Never to evil. Love always binds us in obedience. Love never frees us to be disobedient. Love always heals, always cleans, sometimes hurts, sometimes casts out. Love never winks at sin, shrugs at injustice, or ignores the poor. Love always looks to Christ, his church, and his Mother."
I just HAD to go to the link and listen to the podcast of the rest of this very powerful homily!
It is this past Sunday's homily given by Fr. Philip N. Powell, OP.
WOW! These were words I'd been longing to hear for far too long! A better understanding of what love IS and what love is NOT is so needed today.
Everyone wants it. Few know where to find it. Love is Truth. Sometimes the Truth hurts. And so we may tell ourselves (with the help of that guy with the horns) that this can't be Love then....wrong!
Love does demand sacrifice - just look at the cross. Go! listen to Fr. Philip! he has now been officially listed on my sites I recommend!
