Theme: "Living in sincere love"
Text: Romans 13: 8-10
8. Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves others has fulfilled the law. 9. Indeed, the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and those that may still exist, are summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 10. Love does no harm to its neighbor: love is therefore the fulfillment of the law.
Let us remember:
The debt of love is the only true debt that we must have towards our neighbor. Every child of God has a debt of love towards his neighbor. This means that we have the obligation to credit our neighbor with love. He too must credit us. We will make payments to each other in one way and another in order to fill the debt of love that was reciprocally contracted the day we agreed to become sons of God. It is by paying it that we will live in sincere love. There must be no debts of hatred, fights, brawls, quarrels, wickedness and other debts. Let us be models of love by offering our love without using tribal-ethnic criteria. Love for our neighbor must be a kind of “moral debt” that we must assume and pay without resigning ourselves. Let us not have a debt of resentment or rancor. Let us not have a debt of vengeance. Let us offer our forgiveness as a sign of love in order to succeed in building on the rock of the Word of God. He who loves others has fulfilled the law of love which is a universal law in that it consists in loving our neighbor as ourselves. A person who does not commit adultery, who does not kill, who does not steal, who does not covet, but who does not love his neighbor is guilty before the whole law because love does no harm to the neighbor. Excellent Tuesday. Amen
