The Love of Christ - Some of the most comforting words in Scripture come to us today in these Readings. The passage from Romans is particularly comforting when we are worried about our spiritual life and fretting about it. “What will separate us from the love of Christ?” (Romans 8:35) Of course, nothing can! Christ’s love, manifested in his life, death, and resurrection, was wholly for God and us, and he will not permit anything, great or small, to separate us from him. Our longing, our hunger for him is sustained by the Eucharist, and even in the darkest of times, when God seems absent and it is difficult to pray, we know by faith that God is with us. God’s fidelity to us is absolute, especially when we are in darkness and confusion. Copyright, J.S. Paluch Co.
