Saturday of week 21 in Ordinary Time
Saturday memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
First reading – 1 Thessalonians 4:9-11
“As for loving our brothers, there is no need for anyone to write to you about that, since you have learnt from God yourselves to love one another,”. This shows where our school is for learning to love. It is from God Himself we must learn to love. Because only from God we can learn to love selflessly. He loves us unconditionally. This love must be learnt every day. That is why St. Paul is saying, “However, we do urge you, brothers, to go on making even greater progress”. We must progress in learning to love. We must not be content in the way we love. We must always try to make progress in loving by our learning from God. This learning comes from our relationship with God. How can we learn from God if we don’t have a contact with God? So, the more we experience the love of God, the more progress we make in learning to love. Let’s reflect: Am I learning to love from God and am I making progress in this love?
