"What does Love ask of me today?"

“I am definitively loved and whatever happens to me I am awaited by this Love. And so my life is good.” -St. Josephine Bakhita

I continue to go deep into my interior life this week, journeying with lives of the saints, and recalling the great question a friend posed to me recently: “What does Love ask of me today?” Sometimes it feels like Love asks so much, and it’s uncomfortable and hard to sift through. But Love never asks us to fear. Love always asks courage and seeks to give without counting the cost. Lord, help us to lead out of this Love, never straying from your original vision for us.
