Stripped of all consolation whether human or divine, the soul must walk in the darkness and obscurity of faith. This is the true test of love for God. He requires that we give our entire being to Him when things seem the most challenging and the most trying. It is easy to say "I love you Lord" when we have received all sorts of human consolations, when we have achieved great material comforts, when our lives undergo a minimum of obstacles. It is easy to walk with Our Lord when He was receiving the adulation from the crowds, the same ones who shouted "Hosanna" on Palm Sunday, yet how difficult it is to walk with Our Lord towards Mt. Calvary. A love which is completely self-centered, which seeks everything from the other but does not seek out the good of the other,is simply no love at all.
Please Lord help me to continue loving you.
Please Lord help me to continue loving you.
