De Diligendo Deo ~
I was a young seminarian who asked the Wise Old Monk how I could best learn to love God. He said: first learn to love a girl. I looked at him and creased my brow.
These days I think they want seminarians to know what it's all about before they enter.
ReplyDeleteWas he saying: don't expect it to be easy?
ReplyDeleteLove comes from God. The only way to love God is to ask Him to give you the grace of loving Him.
ReplyDeleteI think he is right. Love is learned, step by step. You start at the bottom of the ladder.
