God Loves Us With Persistent, Immeasurable Love

CatholicPhilly MG reflected on the nature of love during the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, noting that while dictionaries define love as a feeling of deep affection or devotion, the experience of being loved often defines the concept for many people.

The author observed that love is an invisible spiritual reality that becomes visible through specific actions, such as a parent hugging a child or the embrace of spouses. In families, love is often first recognized through parents who sacrifice their own needs to care for their children through kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. Spousal commitment and friendship also serve as witnesses to this devotion.
