Psalm, Chapter 66, verse 16
26 Come and hear, all you who fear God, while I
recount what has been done for me.
It is
just that we recount how God has removed our faults and how he imputes no guilt
on us when we sincerely repent and turn away from our sins and ask for
forgiveness. Once He has freed us, it is then that we can gratefully receive
the counsels of the Holy Spirit which show us our path.
The Shema
Yisrael which
is the same prayer the Christ prayed every morning tells us that God is to be
loved.
Hear,
O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your
God with all your Heart, and with all your soul, and with your entire mind, and
with all your strength.
Christ
is the living example of God’s love for us. His heart could not rest
until He repaid our debt. His soul was so tormented for love of us that
He sweated blood in the garden for us. His mind was ever on us when He
multiplied the loaves or healed the sick and with all His strength He
offered his life as an eternal sacrifice before the Father. He for love of us
took the cup and drank it to the dregs during His passion.
To help
us understand this love of His for us is the mission of the Confraternity of the Passion International[1] who document
the full suffering of our Lord to show us how we are loved.
