Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez Michel

by Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez Michel

Let us do everything with love. How many times so we say it?
Let our Love break the anger that consumes us every day
We say we need to spread Love at all circumstances
We say we really love our neighbor as ourselves
Do we really love all people and God’s creation?
Can we really affirm our Love in all corners of the world
We might be doubtful, oblivious and indifferent
To the great commandment God has given us ages ago
Remembering, acting and embodying our love:
Let’s nurture each other with the love of Jesus.
Let’s be passionate like God, lover of our souls
Let’s irradiate Love through the Spirit in action. Amen

Hagamos todo en amor. ¿Cuántas veces lo decimos?
Que nuestro amor disipe la ira que nos consume cada día
Decimos necesitar esparcir Amor en todas circunstancias
Decimos amar a nuestro prójimo como a nuestro ser propio
¿Amamos realmente a todas las personas y a la creación de Dios?
¿Podemos realmente afirmar nuestro amor en todos los rincones del mundo?
Podemos tener dudas, en ajenidad e indiferencia
Al gran mandamiento que Dios nos dio hace siglos
Recordar, actuar y encarnar nuestro amor
Nutrámonos mutuamente con el amor de Jesús
En apasionamiento como Dios, amante de nuestras almas
Irradiemos Amor a través del Espíritu en acción. Amén
