“Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.” (JUDE 17: 21)
“The love of God” and “the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ” “leads to eternal life.” We have different obligations: “keep ourselves in the love of God,” “wait for the mercy,” and follow the lead. Both “keep,” “wait” and “leads” are verbs, but different activities are expected from us: action, patience and trust. Also we need to be in relationship within our families: action in love, patience and trust.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly; giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
