God remains in us,
and his love is brought to perfection in us.
---- mine,
The most difficult thing to do is to love those around you, in your homes, those among your relatives whom you are familiar with. It is easier to be kind to the stranger, the homeless person on the street, than to pour yourself out tirelessly, in season and out of season on the ones that are nearest to you and are most difficult to love for a host of reasons none of which matter. Unless you love as you ought, with no reservations, only then will the love of God be perfected in you. Pray constantly for this grace and act lovingly until it is a habit. Love is not a feeling but an act of will. Will to love.
