We all need to party, to celebrate. We celebrate birthdays, saints, anniversaries, graduations, end of courses. We rejoice in our achievements and those of others. The spiritual and the not so spiritual. Is there a reason for so much \u201cfun\u201d? Of course! Because, ultimately, behind every celebration, there is the acknowledgment of a nuance in our lives that makes it special, gives it meaning: a person, a work, an event. A trait that makes the life each of us lives unique. And if we celebrate a \u201ctrait,\u201d how could we not celebrate the reason for our existence?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">That \u201creason,\u201d the \u201c<em>Primo Amore<\/em>\u201d that gave us life. Perhaps a life filled with crosses and bumps, probably with clouds, but always capable of celebrating a Friend who gave His life so that it could be better. What makes it so special is that \u201cThe Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me\u201d (Galatians 2:20). How could we not celebrate the most special thing: that God Himself loves us with such passion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">One might think that this is an \u201cextra\u201d celebration, since we already commemorate it during the Passion of Christ. However, this is \u201cthe feast of feasts, because His Heart, aflame with love, is what has moved Him to do all these things\u201d (San Juan Eudes). We celebrate a real love that is dying of love for you and for me, and it shows. We celebrate the \u201csymbol of love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all men\u201d (Pius XII, <em>Haurietis aquas<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">Decided that this is a celebration worth marking, let us not forget that it is a special feast, with its own characteristics: All of us are invited, for we are all loved in this way by God. For the \u201centry pass,\u201d it only requires wearing the \u201cfestive attire,\u201d \u201cclothing ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience\u201d (Colossians 3:12), that is: \u201chaving the same attitude as Christ\u201d (Philippians 2:5) towards others. Actively participating in this celebration means being willing to give our lives for others, knowing that there is another who gives His life for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">By taking part in this celebration, we realize that by celebrating God&#8217;s Love, we are indirectly celebrating among ourselves those who enjoy His love. For, sharing the feelings of Christ (His total love for others), in a way, the \u201ccenter of the celebration\u201d is each one: you, the one beside you, and the other. And the best part is that it is a celebration that never ends, for His love never ceases. That is why Saint Paul wrote to the Philippians, \u201cRejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice!\u201d (Philippians 4:4).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We celebrate a true love that is dying of love for you and for me, and it shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[54],"class_list":["post-4527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-sagrado-corazon-de-jesus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
