Maybe you are seeking a deeper understanding of Christian love. Or you want to connect your everyday life more consciously with God. Perhaps you are also wondering how small, seemingly insignificant things can become great and valuable in the eyes of God. Then this episode is just for you.
The well-known saying of Saint Augustine – “Love and then do what you will” – is often misunderstood. Does it really mean that with enough love you are allowed to do anything? In this episode, Father Engelbert Recktenwald FSSP explains how this saying is to be properly understood: as an invitation to unite your own will with the will of God. For outward works are only as great before God as the inner love that drives them. St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus says: “Picking up a pin out of love weighs as much before God as building a cathedral.”
