Let Love Drive Our Actions

The meditated Word is in St Matthew 18:19-20
“I say to you that if two of you agree on Earth about anything that they want to ask, my father who is in heaven will grant it. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them. “

Que o amor conduza nossas ações

What unites us are the intentions of our heart. Everything becomes possible if we have faith, things happen when we believe it is God who makes the miracle.

We advance in joy and holiness when we join those who are on our side; When united to our brother and sisters and inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Lord comes to our rescue.

The biggest challenge is to unite with those who are close, because the heart is tested to live united in the day to day struggles. Unity is made through love, care and tenderness. How to say you love someone if you don’t take care of of him or her?

A heart that loves is affectionate and tender, even when to us it becomes a challenge like a person. The word of God teaches us to move beyond “liking someone”, but we say “love each other”. Even if you don’t love a person, what shall we give her is our affection.

God must be present in our relationships. Do not set your eyes on what is negative, but let’s look at what is best in our coexistence with those we love.

When we pray for someone we love, the strength and grace of God intervenes in our lives and in our brothers. Daily, we choose to speak something that edifies or not the one next to us. Let us learn from Jesus to speak words of liberation.

If you need to correct, do so with tenderness and no hardness. A House is united s or not depending on the relationship of the couple. When the husband and wife are united in God, the devil has no power over them. We are united, because where two or more are with the heart in communion, the Lord is with them.
