Thirteenth week in Ordinary Time

Genesis 18: 16-33, Ps. 103, Matthew 8: 18-22

The kingdom of love

A time constraint is felt by those who follow Jesus establishing God’s kingdom of love. Love takes its time burying the dead. That is proper. The urgency that Jesus wants me to feel is for the love that is still to be established in places I am yet to know. For this activity there is never enough time and therefore no rest. Receiving this sense of urgency has much to do with perfecting my love, letting divine love and its utter need to be shared with others into my life.
