Memorial of St. Albert the Great, Bishop & Doctor of the Church
2 John 4-9 <*{{{{>< +++ ><}}}}*> Luke 17:26-37
Another short letter
for our first reading today,
Jesus but filled with wonder
and power that impacts our
daily life: help us to keep your love
Lord! The words of your beloved
disciple are strikingly so true to us
these days:
Anyone who is so “progressive” as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son (2 John 9).
Forgive us, dear Jesus,
with our so many excuses
and alibis along with our
endless arguments
for the sake of being modern
and progressive
to be excused from your only
law and command which is
to love;
let us love always
for to love is live in your presence;
without love,
there is disorder and sin,
and fear;
with love,
there is true freedom
to be who we truly are
as children of the Father.
Therefore,
open our eyes
that we may consider the wonders
of your laws,
O Lord
(Psalm 119:18).
Amen.
