So Nice and So Violent a Love: A Lenten Devotional
“Due to his nice love for us, God, who’s wealthy mercy, made us alive with Christ even once we had been useless in transgressions—it’s by grace you will have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5
Due to his nice love…
When Francis of Paola (15th century) got here throughout a crucifix, he spontaneously cried out, “O love, O love, O love!”
The crucifixion was an act of nice love, a love that preceded our sins and for us in the present day, even our existence. We can not take a look at the cross and doubt God’s love, for by no means was love displayed in a rawer, more true, extra genuine type than on the cross.
Alphonsus Liguori lived in the course of the 18th century. He immersed himself in essentially the most glorious works of Christians all through the centuries. His personal work, The Follow of the Love of Jesus Christ has as many quotes from the classics because it does his personal ideas. It’s a how-to guide on friendship with Jesus, and it begins, appropriately sufficient, by founding such a friendship on recognizing the love God lavished on us by means of Jesus’ loss of life on the cross.
