The story is told about a husband who, when he got home, not only embraced his wife, but also lifted her up in his arms. When asked by his surprised wife why did that, he said “the priest told us at a mass today to embraced out cross and lift up out cross to the Lord.”
A lot of them would claim that we have taken the road of love in this world. However, the question is how for would we go on this road. Many of them usually go at minimum speed, or stop when we hit rough roads. Many of them happily welcome detours and take the rest stops whenever we can. The Lord reminds us today to look at the quantity and quality of our loving.
It is not just a question of loving enough, it is also a question of loving truly. Here we fail more because often we love with a lot of conditions and with a lot of selfish agenda. Often we love with so much pride and with a lot of anger. We all need to learn more about true and sustained loving.
