Love

 The Priest at mass today mentioned how the 4^th commandment is the key pin between the first three commandments that talk about God and the rest that talk about loving actions towards each other. Honor thy father and mother is key because to love, we must know love. We are not talking about hallmark love, that butterfly feeling, but the deep commitment of love, no matter what. There is love of parents who love unconditionally, no matter how difficult raising their child is. I have been blessed with a family easy to love. But that doesn’t mean there aren't difficult times. I will always love my family; I might not like their actions at times, but true love is seeing the best in them, believing in them, and fighting for them. I stand by them through prayers and listening. Today, update your definition of love to include Colossians 3:14: “and over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Note, it didn’t say harmony, but unity. Stand by your loved ones as one is bound, no matter what on the path….
