Logic of Love

"Dear friends, with great confidence I entrust you to the intercession of Mary Most Holy.  She is the Mother who helps us to take life decisions freely and without fear.  May she help you to bear witness to the joy of God’s consolation, without being afraid of joy, she will help you to conform yourselves to the logic of love of the Cross, to grow in ever deeper union with the Lord in prayer.  Then your lives will be rich and fruitful!  Amen. "

The logic of love. BEAUTIFUL. 

The logic of it all has helped me through so many rough patches. Once you accept certain basic premises into your life it all flows so well. For example:

Me: "I'm worthless."

I: "Nope, you were brought into existence on purpose. God had a reason and a plan. He doesn't make mistakes. Are you saying He's not perfect?"

Me: "Noo...but He didn't give me any worthwhile gifts. I don't do anything. I can't be of value..."

I: "Then why'd He die for you? Huh? He brought you into being knowing you'd mess up. Nothing forced Him create you. He wanted you knowing you would mess up. Are you saying there was something He didn't know? He is perfect, ya know..."

Me: "Yeah.. well... maybe He'll just forget about me cuz I'm such a screw up."

I: "Oh, perfect. So, He made you, breathed life into you, died for you, and then just changed His mind. Oh, but did we forget He doesn't do that because that would imply He messed up before.. which He can't because He's perfect.."

Me: "...fine..."

I: "Say it!

Me: "He loves me..alot and will never ever give up on me."

I: ":D"

And it only follows logically to love the cross -- that thing which brought about our salvation and gives us chances here on earth to better and purify ourself and give Him testaments of our love. It's beautiful. It's logical. It's truth.
