Theme: LOVE SOFTENS ALL
Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...
Motherhood can be very challenging. Mothers perform some of the most difficult tasks in the world. But they make these strenuous tasks look so easy because they have so much love in their hearts. The lives of great mothers manifest how love eases and simplifies all things, including complex life issues. When love is the foundation, nothing will be too difficult.
Jesus tells His disciples and us in the Gospel this morning that, “if you love me, you will keep my commandments.” In other words, obedience to the commandments of God will not pose a challenge to us if we love Jesus. Love makes the commands of God sweet and soothing road maps and not a burden to keep. Until we come to love Jesus, we cannot be good Christians. The Christian journey is never a challenge for those who love God.
Like mothers, we too can summont the difficult and daunting tasks of life with a heart full of love because love softens all.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, even as life becomes ever more stressful for me, give me more love. Amen.
Happy Mother's Day to all noble mothers. May God bless you.
