9th Day with Blessed Virgin Mary
Mystery of the day: Glorious
"If a man loves me, he will keep my word..." (John 14:23)
Good morning and happy 6th Sunday of Easter to you dearest friend in Christ.
It is yet another beautiful day, the Lord has given us, therefore the scripture exhorts us to rejoice and be glad in it, for our God is faithful.
Today, we are being reminded the need to be hearken to God's Word, as it remains a light to our path.
Evangelist John, in his writing from today's Table of the Word reported our Lord's exhortation on love saying:
" If a man loves me, he will keep my word, says the Lord; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him." (John 14:23)
By implication we cannot say, we love God when we don't keep His Words in our hearts. What does it take to keep the Word? Other than obeying the Divine detects and observances.
It is in doing this, that we will gain the right of place as His children.
Beloved in Christ, let our thoughts match with our words, so as to act in accordance with the Divine directive. When we do this, we will abide in His love as His children.
In the same vein, we need to reciprocates this kind gesture of God with heart of love towards others as St. John has this to say:
"Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love."
(1 John 4:7-8)
Finally, let LOVE speaks! Peace be with you.
Let us pray
Grant, almighty God, that we may celebrate with heartfelt devotion these days of joy, which we keep in honour of the risen Lord, and that what we relive in remembrance we may always hold to in what we do. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
