Mass introduction
Love! Yes, love is the binding force of the universe. Before even the world was created love was existing. Since God is love, love also like God is the beginning and the end of the universe. God’s work of creation took place in love. His saving plan was a perfect act of love and his sanctifying work is being carried out in love.
Yes, dear sisters, this love of God is made manifested to our eyes
- In the bright and radiant sun
- In every tiny stars that twinkle in the night sky
- In the gentle and cool moon
- In every drop of morning dew
- In the summer’s bright rainbow
- In every green plant
- In every colorful flower
- In every chirping bird
- In every animal that swiftly runs
- In every pretty butterfly
- In every ocean wave that breaks upon the shore
And in every radiating smile of a child and above all in the person of our dear sister….
The whole of creation is the manifestation of God’s fascinating love. Even when this beautiful creation was corrupted by the entrance of sin into the universe God once again manifested his love by sending his only son into the world to redeem it and beautify it by his body and blood.
Yes dear sisters, that supreme act of God’s love is made manifested to us these days through the Eucharistic banquet in which we remember and renew each day our covenant of love to God. Today in a special way we have the joy of experiencing God’s love made manifested in the person of our dear sister… as we celebrate her feast day let us bring her to this altar of love that the God of love may bless her with choicest blessings.
Dear sister, God has not promised skies always blue or flowers strewn pathways all our life through, God has not promised sun without rain, joy without pain or peace without strain but he has promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way, help from above, unfailing care and undying love. So dear sister remembering these promises and praying for all your intentions, we join in this Eucharistic meal of love.
