The more we are united to him by love,
the nearer we are to those who belong to him.
--St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
To love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength and my neighbour as myself.” Let us ask ourselves: does this commandment truly orient my life? Does this commandment resonate in my daily life?
It would be good this evening, before going to sleep, to make an examination of conscience on this Word, to see if we have loved the Lord today and if we have done a little good to those we happened to meet. May every encounter bring about a little bit of good, a little bit of love that comes from this Word. May the Virgin Mary, in whom the Word of God was made flesh, teach us to welcome the living word of the Gospel in our hearts.
--Pope Francis, Homily, July 30, 2023

Such a sad, yet brilliant image to convey this equally compelling thought and action to follow. Thank you.
