Love - Part 3
This weekend’s reflection is taken from the sermon of St. Bernard on loving God with all one’s soul. Note, the bridegroom here is God while the bride is the soul:
Love is sufficient of itself. It gives pleasure by itself and because of itself. It is its own merit, its own reward. Love looks for no cause outside itself, no effect beyond itself. Its profit lies in its practice. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing so long as it continually returns to its fountainhead, flows back to its source, always drawing from there the water which constantly replenishes it. Of all the movements, sensations and feelings of the soul, love is the only one which the creature can respond to the Creator and make some sort of similar return however unequal though it be. For when God loves, all he desires is to be loved in return; the sole purpose of his love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love him are made happy by their love of him.
The Bridegroom's love asks in return nothing but faithful love. Let the beloved, then, love in return. Should not a bride love...? Could it be that Love not be loved? Rightly then does she give up all other feelings and give herself wholly to love alone; in giving love back, all she can do is to respond to love. And when she has poured out her whole being in love, what is that in comparison with the unceasing torrent of that original source? Clearly, lover and Love, soul and Word, bride and Bridegroom, creature and Creator do not flow with the same volume; one might as well equate a thirsty man with the fountain.
What then of the bride's hope, her aching desire, her passionate love, her confident assurance? Is all this to wilt just because she cannot match stride for stride with her giant, any more than she can vie with honey for sweetness, rival the lamb for gentleness, show herself as white as the lily, burn as bright as the sun, be equal in love with him who is Love? No. It is true that the creature loves less because she is less. But if she loves with her whole being, nothing is lacking where everything is given. To love so ardently then is to share the marriage bond; she cannot love so much and not be totally loved, and it is in the perfect union of two hearts that complete and perfected marriage consists. Or are we to doubt that the soul is loved by the Word first and with a greater love? (Sermo 83, 4-6: Opera omnia, Edit. Cisterc. 2 [1958], 300-302)
Amor– 3a Parte
La reflexión de este fin de semana es tomada del sermón de San Bernardo sobre amar a Dios con todo el alma de uno. Nota, el novio aquí es Dios, mientras que la novia es el alma:
El amor es suficiente de sí; da el placer por sí mismo y debido a Sí. Es su propio mérito, su propia recompensa. El amor no busca ninguna causa fuera de sí, ningún efecto más allá de sí. Su ganancia está en su práctica. Amo porque amo; amo porque puedo amar. El amor es una gran cosa mientras que continuamente vuelve a su fuente, flujos atrás a su fuente, siempre dibujando desde allí el agua que constantemente lo rellena. De todos los movimientos, sensaciones y sentimientos del alma, el amor es el único que la criatura puede responder al creador y hacer algún tipo de retorno similar sin embargo desigual aunque sea. Porque cuando Dios ama, todo lo que él desea es ser amado a cambio; el único propósito de su amor es ser amado, sabiendo que aquellos que lo aman se hacen felices por su amor por él.
El amor del novio le pide a cambio nada más que amor fiel. Que el Amado, entonces, el amor a cambio. ¿no debería una novia amar...? ¿podría ser que el amor no sea amado? Con razón, entonces ella renuncia a todos los demás sentimientos y se entrega totalmente al amor solo; en devolver el amor, todo lo que ella puede hacer es responder al amor. Y cuando ella ha derramado todo su ser en el amor, ¿qué es eso en comparación con el torrente incesante de esa fuente original? Claramente, amante y amor, alma y palabra, novia y novio, criatura y creador no fluyen con el mismo volumen; uno también podría equiparar a un hombre sediento con la fuente.
¿Qué entonces de la esperanza de la novia, su deseo dolorido, su amor apasionado, su seguridad confiada? Es todo esto a marchitarse sólo porque ella no puede emparejar zancada con zancada con su gigante, más de lo que puede compiter con la miel para la dulzura, rivalizar con el cordero de la dulzura, se muestran tan blanca como el lirio, quemar tan brillante como el sol, ser igual en el amor con el que es el amor? No. Es verdad que la criatura ama menos porque ella es menos. Pero si ella ama con todo su ser, no falta nada donde todo se da. Amar tan ardientemente entonces es compartir el vínculo matrimonial; ella no puede amar tanto y no ser totalmente amado, y es en la unión perfecta de dos corazones que el matrimonio completo y perfeccionado consiste. ¿o debemos dudar que el alma es amada por la palabra primero y con un amor mayor?

I can’t believe we are already at Pentecost!!!! I was recently at a meeting where we spoke about why we are in the ministry we’re in. When it was my turn to share my answer was simple, “the Holy Spirit”. When I was in high school I experienced the Holy Spirit for the first time. I was aware of this when I attended my first LA Youth Day. Since that day I knew that I wanted to be involved in a ministry and especially be involved in Confirmation Ministry. I have seen the power of the Holy Spirit so many times in my life, especially with our teens and in so many different things. I am continually blown away by how powerful the Holy Spirit is, because of this every year I love Pentecost Sunday so much and I love to see how the Holy Spirit is working especially in our parish. Upcoming Events: May 22-Edge May 23-Youth Group
