LOVE IS A VERB

Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter Year C John 14:21-26 My attention was drawed to this line of the gospel. “Whoever loves me keeps my word.” Our Gospel directly reminding us that love is best express when its proven by action. It means when we love someone, do not just say it but also do action to prove your love ; for love is a verb not an adjective. Love is a verb! When you say it, do it. Simply put, love is not just a lips service. Love is not about how much we say ‘I love you’ but how much we can prove that it is true. Nowadays, any person can say that they love you but only few can prove it. In the same manner, loving God means keeping His commandments. If we love the Lord we should keep His ordinances. We are reminded that whoever observes the commandments of God is the one who loves Him. Friends, if we love the Lord we should refrain from doing wicked things. If you love the Lord stop hurting your partner, stop hurting your family, stop hurting people around you. If you love the Lord be honest and cease from spreading fake news. If you love the Lord, do what pleases Him. Today, we are challenge to prove our love for Him through our loyalty and obedience. Friends, love what the Lord loves. Finally, we are reminded to cast away our worries because Jesus promise a paraclete to teach and reminds us of everything. The Holy Spirit is the Advocate that God has sent to help us and to support us. The Holy Spirit too help us to carry out the will of God. Blessings Fr. Jhack
