True Love

"Love is patient, love is kind."

— 1 Corinthians 13:4

God who is Love,

Today, many celebrate love in all its forms. But what is true love? Not just the feeling that inflames, but that deep commitment which endures.

Teach me to love truly. To choose love day after day, even when the feeling fades. To love not for what I receive but for what I can give. To love with patience, kindness, faithfulness.

May my love for others reflect Your love for me: unconditional, generous, patient. May I love not only in easy moments but also in challenges, disagreements, trials.

Amen.

Reflection

Love is a verb, not just a feeling. How can you show your love today through concrete acts toward someone who matters to you?

For all couples, families, friendships—may true love flourish there.
