“We become what we love. Who we love shapes what we become.”

-St. Clare of Assisi

It’s February, the month of Valentine’s Day. What a lovely quote to ponder at this beautiful time of year. When I stop and think about who I love and what I love, what comes to mind? How is God calling me to love Him more and the material things of this world less?

“The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.”

-St. John Paul the Great

 Wow! What a mission that God has entrusted to each of us- TO LOVE! In my own life, where is God calling me to love? And more specifically, who is God calling me to love at this very moment? Spend some time in prayer today thanking God for the love He has shown you, and ask Him to lead you in loving others in the same way.
