Love, as modeled by Christ and embraced by the early disciples, is a transformative force that transcends cultural and social boundaries. Rooted in truth and stability, it creates unity, fosters trust, and empowers communities to endure persecution with grace. When lived authentically, this divine love invites others to encounter Christ through compassionate action rather than persuasion. It is not merely a principle to believe in, but a mission to embody.

This week, we explore the vision from Revelation of a vast, redeemed multitude gathered in heaven, emphasizing the hope and clarity found in Christ, the worthy Lamb. We are invited to examine what holds the deepest place in our hearts and to prioritize what truly matters. Through the story of a woman who lost her treasured possessions, we’re reminded that human connection and faith endure beyond material loss. By keeping Christ at our center through prayer, trust, and the sacraments—especially the Eucharist—we find true freedom, peace, and purpose.
