Saint Raymond of Penafort (c. 1175-1275)
Readings of the Day
RB: Prologue 45-50
Mass: 1 Jn 4:19-5:4; Resp Ps 72; Lk 4:14-22
Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
WHOEVER LOVES GOD MUST ALSO LOVE HIS BROTHER AND SISTER.
(1 Jn 4:21)
This straightforward commandment of Jesus seems so simple, yet it remains a challenge. At the same time it is a mark of a true Christian. In what one way will you reach out to the person with whom you have the most difficulty. Today. For, "if anyone says, 'I love God,' but hates his brother or sister, he is a liar" (1 Jn 4:20).
As we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God's commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love.
(RB Prologue 49)
