Log on

eople are renewed by love. As sinful desire ages them, so love rejuvenates them. Enmeshed in the toils of his desires the psalmist laments: "I have grown old surrounded by my enemies."

Love, on the other hand, is the sign of our renewal as we know from the Lord's own words: "I give you a new commandment--love one another."

Prayer. Lord, those who are bowed down with burdens you lift up, and they do not fall because you are their support.

From John E. Rotelle, O.S.A., Augustine Day by Day: Minute Meditations for Every Day Taken from the Writings of Saint Augustine. Catholic Book Publishing Co. New York, 1986.
