Today’s Reflection
It has often been noted that love often inspires people to do things which, seen from the angle of cold reason, are downright unreasonable. And this applies not only to romantic love, but also to the love that binds a parent to a child, a friend to a friend, a citizen to a country, a disciple to a master. But when is the last time I did something extravagantly generous for God? Something which reasonable people would call unreasonable – but which God would warmly praise? When did I last throw caution to the winds, burn my bridges, go “all the way’ for the love of God? We are also reminded to have pure intentions like that perfume scattered on the feet of Jesus minding only to serve and love God.
