…From Your Pastor’s Desk
Have you ever fallen in love? I hope so.
To fall in love is essentially an emotional experience.
And the word “love” is often used casually as we hear phrases like “I love Pizza” or “I love the Giants” or “I love that person – be they, actor, athlete or even favorite saint”.
But back to falling in love, even if it is an infatuation, it is still an emotional experience.
Falling in love is an emotion, but staying in love is a decision.
And often, it is easier to fall in love… than to stay in love.
In the gospel, Jesus tells us that just as the Father loves Him, He too loves us.
And He tells us to remain in His love.
So, Jesus loves us and He has made an eternal decision to love us always.
On our part, we have to make the decision to love Jesus and to remain in His love.
To remain in His love is to be faithful to Him always.
When that is our decision, then we will fall deeper and deeper into His love.
Blessings,
Fr. Ron
