Sometimes I post a blog entry, often written in advance, and then realize that the day called for something else, or at least a subject which is more immediately topical.
On this day when we celebrate romantic love, lovely, but far from the sacrificial love of St. Valentine I'm thinking about the recently discovered "love letter" a hand-written note penned by Christian pastor and Civil Rights icon of the 1950's and 60's, Dr, Martin Luther King Jr. Apparently he was asked to comment on the meaning of love and his brief response was
"Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God."
I have already posted another blog entry for this day, but surely we all need this reminder from someone who loved courageously and sacrificially himself
May the love of Christ fill all your hearts and minds today, and guide your paths in the days before you.
Thank you, David - the same is wished for you and yours.
