To walk just as he walked

“But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him. This is the way we may know that we are in union with him: whoever claims to abide in him ought to walk just as he walked.” (1 JN 2: 5-6)

Those “who keep his word” receive amazing help—“the love of God is truly perfected in him.” And the main grace of this is “to be in union with him” and “to walk just as he walked.” When we do this, our children are happier—being loved by parents with Our Lord’s love; spouses are happier—sharing Our Lord’s love with each other, and our societies are happier—receiving “a light of revelation to the Gentiles and glory for your people Israel.”
