Day 244: The Virtue of Charity
The greatest of all the theological virtues is charity. Fr. Mike explains that charity, or love, is to love God above all things for his own sake and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This includes loving our enemies and also obeying God’s commandments, two actions that are not always easy. Most importantly, today’s readings remind us that true charity is not loving the Father as servants in fear or as mercenaries looking for a reward but rather as his beloved children responding to him who “first loved us.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1822-1829.
