We become what we love!

The Gospel message from this coming weekend talks to us about remaining in the Father's love. The reality of falling in love is one of the greatest dimensions of human life. It allows us to be fulfilled and creative at the same time. The importance of choosing how we love and whom we love marks out our existence as human beings. It allows to give expression to a deeper sense that we have been called into existence by somebody who has loved us into being. This weekend we give special recognition to our mothers who have carried us and walked with us. They have helped at the most intimate and fundamental part of our lives. They have helped to shape and form us into those early years of our life. The fact that we are here today allows us to give thanks for the lives that we can share with others.
Today we can give thanks for our mothers and our ability to shape the lives of others. They help us to understand more deeply the love of God which forms us to be people capable of loving others. As Christians we are called to be people who are shaped by that Word which creates and recreates us each day. May we follow that commandment to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour as our ourselves.
