This morning Bacci speaks to True Love of Self. this can be found on pg 487 of his daily meditations. John 12:24-25 “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat;r but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.” leads us to believe that we are forbidden to love ourselves. But in what sense does Christ mean this? He is asking us to mortify our lower inclinations, deny our selfish ambitions, die to the world and prepare to lose life itself rather than offend God in any way. He is asking us to hate any perversion of our nature or our faculties. He is asking us to do His will rather than our own. He is asking us to Love God above anything else and to subjugate our thoughts, desires and affections to Him. He is asking us to get over ourselves for His sake and even sacrifice life for His honor and glory. He is telling us that anything that does not lead to Him is vain and useless. If we love God we can achieve our own perfect happiness. Our lives are not cluttered with obstacles that prevent us from walking in union with Christ.
Know you are prayed for.
