Love Without Holding Back • Wed.09.30.26

Love feels easy while it costs little. Its deeper strength appears when something must be given up.

Courageous love asks more from us than convenience. It can mean giving our time, comfort, plans, or preferences for the good of another person. When we stop protecting ourselves from every sacrifice, love becomes freer, and mutual care can grow into something stronger than either person could create alone.

Inspired by Chiara Lubich
Word of Life, March 1982

Prayer for Courageous Love

Christ, give us the courage to love without holding back. Help us let go of selfishness, accept the sacrifices love asks of us, and build mutual love with others. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away.
