Romans 13:8-12 provides all this nothing consecrated Catholic hermit needs in the next phase of spiritual growth, spiritual life, interior movement (and exterior) in climbing the stairway to Heaven. These words of the Living Word of God pare to the simple...and the simply profound truth!
"Brothers and sisters:
Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another;
for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
"The commandments,
'You shall not commit adultery;
you shall not kill;
you shall not steal;
you shall not covet,'
and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this saying, namely,
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
Love does no evil to the neighbor;
hence, love is the fulfillment of the law."
I emboldened the words that I shall carry with me today. Am back in civilization, having been called back to help with the situation requiring loving effort and teamwork in time of others' need.
Remember the fulfillment of the law. Love others. Love is the fulfillment of the law.
Perfection in love! All else can be determined, ruled, enacted under this fulfillment of God's law.
God bless His Real Presence in us! Little children, let us LOVE! God Is Love! Remain in His Love!
