The Power of Love in Victim Souls

Date: June 28, 2016

1 Peter 4:8:

“Above all, let your love for one another be INTENSE because love covers a multitude of sins.”

James 5:20:

“He should know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”

Proverbs 10:12: “Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.”

1 Corinthians 13: 4–7:

Love is patient, kind

Love is not jealous, pompous, inflated, rude

Love does not seek its own interests, is not quick-tempered, does not brood over injury nor rejoices over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears, believes, hopes, endures all things

When we give our fiat to Jesus to be His victim souls and make our covenant with God through the oblation of our lives, we are giving God something that we didn’t have to give. We are freely giving Him our will, our all. This act of love draws us into the Eucharistic life of Jesus to actively participate with Him in the salvation and transformation of souls. As we choose daily to suffer ALL with Jesus—who “bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things,”—we live in Jesus’ perfect act of love in the Eucharist. Because we live in Christ, in Love, the multitude of our sins are covered by Christ, and Abba only sees His Son—our sins are blotted from the sight of God.
