I had a very lively discussion with my mom early this morning. We ate "current issues" for breakfast ~ same sex marriages, relationships, single parenthood, life back then and now. I asked how she and dad reached forty-one years together ~ it wasn't an easy life. She said the younger generation either fears or eschews "sacrifice" and 'self-denial' ~ those are important ingredients to family life ~ sacrifice is the language of love [cf Bishop James Conley]. Sacrifice took a new meaning in my life when I discerned to become a single celibate ~ gone was a life of security, of forming a family, of having children... the Lord gave me "other" families and children. "Real love is being open to the love that comes to you. The LOVE that surprises us ." ~ Pope Francis, Meeting with the youth of Manila ~ Love presented itself as a "twin heart" ~ one who loves Jesus dearly. For a while, I thought it would end...
Melissa, that was so beautiful, I listened to it twice! Great video to share. Thank you!
