Conversion

 Mark 12:28-34


The readings always bring out a call to conversion.  Come back to me, come back now!

Why do we have to come back to the Lord?  Because the effects of sin are upon us.  I would like to stress more about the effects of the callousness of a person exposed to a world of sin.  Sin deadens our hearts; makes it deaf to the cries of the poor; makes it callous to the feelings of all; and makes us blind to the presence of beauty and of God.

Jesus calls us to love once again; love in its truest form.  From the document of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI on Deus, Caritas Est, he stresses on a self-sacrificing love patterned after the Lord Jesus.  He also stresses that love, from romantic to self-sacrificing love is founded only in God who is love.

By purifying our hearts, God will fill it up with his own love.
