God is Love "He loved us first"

February 14
Imitate Jesus in charity, because he recognizes as his own only those who jealously guarded this precious pearl, and always remember that when we stand before the divine presence, all his judgment will turn on charity. Do your the saying of the great Bishop of Hippo: "My weight is my love." Yes, weigh all your actions with the balance of love, and you will go weaving a crown of merit for heaven.The boredom you experience to practice virtue and prayer, neither should scare you or I must carry back in the practice of one and the other. Continue on it, and you do not have to look like a waste of time, because that time is spent on employee and practice obedience.Do not be afraid Temptations: are proof that God wants to bring to the soul, when he sees her with the strength to sustain the fight to get into their own hands the crown of glory.Divine grace will serve defense and support throughout.(January 7, 1919, the novices - Letters IV, p. 380)
