Reflecting on Jesus’ words, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments,” we find a simple yet profound map of the Christian life. Love becomes obedience, Christ intercedes for us, the Father sends the Spirit, and the Spirit draws us into real participation in the life of God. This is not merely knowing facts about God, but knowing Him from the inside. Through the Holy Spirit, through the Eucharist, and through a life slowly transformed into holiness, we don’t just know about, but we know intimately. Come, Holy Spirit. Kindle in us the fire of your love. In Christ, Fr. Cliff+
