24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The lyrics of the song  "Just Give Me a Reason" by p!nk convey a strong message with regard to love. As part of the lyrics goes: " Just give me a reason just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts We're not broken just bent  And we can learn to love again" Such words remind us how difficult to unlearn love once one has learned  what love is. Though how one gets hurt because of love, he/she cannot easily resist or stop loving. Sometimes, some people think that love makes one a fool. It makes one feel crazy. But as for me, it is better to love than to analyze what love is. To love is to have a share of the nature of God which is Unconditional Love. In the Gospel of Luke 15: 10, Jesus said, "Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents." These words of Jesus remind us that God is love. He does not set aside his love for us whenever we sinned against him. He does not bring curse to our home whenever we turn our back on him. Rather, he wants us to learn to love him again. No matter how big our sin is, the great love of God is greater than our greatest sin. It is now up to us to catch again his love for us. Amen.
