Friend, 

A couple of days ago in the weekday homily I brought up a line that I have probably had the most feedback on in my 7 1/2 years with you here at St Charles Borromeo. Ready? Here it is:

“Your love is only as good as the person you love the least.”

So challenging! It is so much easier to love people that are easy to love and trust, but what about the people that you just have a hard time forgiving? 

Regardless of our feelings, the call to love everyone with the love of Jesus does not change. He loves everyone infinitely and without condition, all the time! And he asks us to do the same! Jesus commands, “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Let us pray that our hearts would be found loving from the love of his Sacred Heart! ♥️
