31st Sunday of Ordinary Time.

I want to Know What Love is?

People talk about love;

Sing about love;

Write about love;

They want to know what Love is!

Love is probably the single most used word in the English language. 

They use it to talk not only about Relationships. 

But people talk about loving sports, pizza, and shopping;

They love to go on vacation, 

They love staying in shape;

They love sex and  drugs and rock and roll. 

They love their hobbies, their car and their pets. 

Love is all around,

And yet nowhere to be found!

This is often because we love things that do not love us back. 

Stop and think about where you spend most of your time. 

This is probably what you love the most. 

Because if it isn’t what you love the most,

Than why spend most of your time on it?

And what you spend most of your time on….

Does it love you back?

Does what you spend most of your time on, 

Desire you above all else?

Does it love you unconditionally?

Does it accept you for all that you are and all that you are not?

Will it lay down its life for you?

Will it love you for all Eternity. 

If not, then it is not True Love;

It may be something else, but it is not Love!

And this is the problem. 

People look for Love in all the wrong places. 

There is only one Thing, 

One Person who loves us,

All the Time;

Unconditionally;

For all we are and are not;

And will lay down His life for us;

And will love us for all Eternity. 

And that is God;

And only when we love God the same way that God loves us,

With all our heart and soul, 

With All our mind and strength. Mk. 12:28-34

Only then, Will we know what True Love is.
