Valentine's Day is a day to remember that through Baptism we all share a common vocation: "To Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27) We are called to love! The questions we ask during discernment is how best to love God and neighbor? Are we called to receive and express love as a religious brother or priest? Are we called to receive and express love as a diocesan priest or deacon? Are we called to receive and express love through marriage or single life? How are we being called to love God and neighbor? We find the greatest love in the vocation God has called us too. Therefore, religious life is not a life without love, but a life of abundant love.
Peace and All Good,
Bro. Scott Slattum, OFM
