The love of God and the endurance of Christ

“May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.” (2 THES 3: 5) 

The truth known to any person in relationship: where there is true love there is also endurance. Love needs patience, gentleness, respect and the gift of self, and to achieve all of them, we need endurance.

“Jesus Christ is the firstborn of the dead; to him be glory and power, forever and ever.” (Gospel Acclamation)
