Virtue of Love/Charity Day 3

 Pick a Christian virtue to grow in your life.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your meditation.
Reflect 10 minutes or so on that virtue.
Read something about that virtue; perhaps from the Catechism or a quote from one of the Saints.
At the end of the day ask; “How did I live this virtue today?”
Act; make a decision to implement a way to live out that virtue.
Continue this pattern for several days before moving on to another virtue.

Day 3  Virtue of Love/Charity
More Love

Lord, it is my chief complaint;
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee and adore,
Oh for grace to love thee more!
William Cowper

CC1825  Christ died out of love for us, while we were still “enemies”.  The Lord asks us to love as he does,  even our enemies, to make ourselves the neighbor of those farthest away, and to love children and the poor as Christ himself.
