The Lord still has needs, and he makes the request of you and me. The Lord needs Christian lovers. Love is an overused word in our day, but it is a good word nonetheless. But we let's stop using it as a noun. It is also a verb.
Love is active.
And the love that God has need of is an active love that reaches out. The love that God needs from you and me is a love that is willing to enter the cities, the towns, the countryside bringing a message of Good News. The love that God needs from you and from me is a love that is capable of embracing an enemy as a brother. The love the God has need of from you and me is the love that is willing to enter into the sacred shrines of our day and cleanse them of exploitation, abuse and pain. On Friday night, our film class watched the movie Jesus of Montreal.
