Each of us are made by Love, for love. We are relational beings seeking to love and be loved by others. Yet, many have turned to other things to satisfy this thirst for genuine connection and intimacy out of their insecurities and fear of vulnerability.

In truth, the highest form of relationship is marriage, whereby a man and woman complement each other and are able to provide a safe environment where both parties can be vulnerable, purified, grow and mature. Having said that, all of us – married, single, divorced or bereaved – are called to the same vocation: to love. It is only when we find a Christian community to journey with and give our lives to, that we will come to experience joy and fulfillment in our lives.

Reflection question: How can I be more fruitful in living out the call to love?
