To grow in understanding is to grow in the love of others
To understand how we are loved leads us to see life in a different way. It does not give all the answers but does give meaning to our journey. This allows us to embrace the full experiences that life brings to us. It also allows us to grow in courage to want to face up to whatever keeps us from deepening our love of God as we move forward on our pilgrimage. As our love of God deepens, so does our love of self and of others. We grow in our ability to look into our hearts without fear, since we have grown in the understanding that all is known by God, seen, yet we are loved. This also leads to compassion for others. -Br.MD
