But our Lord is here reminding us that But our Lord is here reminding us that But our Lord is here reminding us that all of our deeds, particularly obviously all of our deeds, particularly obviously all of our deeds, particularly obviously all of our good deeds, should be all of our good deeds, should be all of our good deeds, should be stemming from first and foremost love of stemming from first and foremost love of stemming from first and foremost love of God. Because if they're not stemming God. Because if they're not stemming God. Because if they're not stemming from love of God, then what is actually from love of God, then what is actually from love of God, then what is actually the motivation behind them? Why are we the motivation behind them? Why are we the motivation behind them? Why are we doing them in the first place? doing them in the first place? doing them in the first place? Love of God actually Love of God actually Love of God actually is supposed to actually bring out what is supposed to actually bring out what is supposed to actually bring out what is best in us and it's supposed to be a is best in us and it's supposed to be a is best in us and it's supposed to be a relational kind of an interaction relational kind of an interaction relational kind of an interaction because God after all is a relationship. because God after all is a relationship. because God after all is a relationship. God is a trinity. God is not in God is a trinity. God is not in God is a trinity. God is not in isolation. And so when God created us, isolation. And so when God created us, isolation. And so when God created us, he meant for us to actually also exist he meant for us to actually also exist he meant for us to actually also exist in relationship in this world, not to be in relationship in this world, not to be in relationship in this world, not to be just isolated islands, little just isolated islands, little just isolated islands, little silos so to speak, not interacting and silos so to speak, not interacting and silos so to speak, not interacting and sort of keeping our own purity as best sort of keeping our own purity as best sort of keeping our own purity as best as possible. It is through love of God as possible. It is through love of God as possible. It is through love of God that we are then first and foremost able that we are then first and foremost able that we are then first and foremost able to love ourselves, understand ourselves, to love ourselves, understand ourselves, to love ourselves, understand ourselves, truly know the depths of our own heart, truly know the depths of our own heart, truly know the depths of our own heart, but then also from there we go out and but then also from there we go out and but then also from there we go out and love neighbor. And in loving neighbor, love neighbor. And in loving neighbor, love neighbor. And in loving neighbor, we actually then reveal that we do love we actually then reveal that we do love we actually then reveal that we do love God. And it's sort of everything just God. And it's sort of everything just God. And it's sort of everything just cycles again and again. It grows in cycles again and again. It grows in cycles again and again. It grows in strength and it deepens.

strength and it deepens. strength and it deepens. And it's as our Lord says And it's as our Lord says And it's as our Lord says in scripture in another place, if you in scripture in another place, if you in scripture in another place, if you can't love the people that you do see, can't love the people that you do see, can't love the people that you do see, how are you supposed to love the God how are you supposed to love the God how are you supposed to love the God that you do not see? that you do not see? that you do not see? And so all of our good deeds, all of the And so all of our good deeds, all of the And so all of our good deeds, all of the things that we do in this life are things that we do in this life are things that we do in this life are manifestations of that love. And so we manifestations of that love. And so we manifestations of that love. And so we always have to question ourselves, where always have to question ourselves, where always have to question ourselves, where is this motivation? is this motivation? is this motivation? And this is something that Pope St. Pius And this is something that Pope St. Pius And this is something that Pope St. Pius X in his famous encyclical Pascendi sort X in his famous encyclical Pascendi sort X in his famous encyclical Pascendi sort of touched on along with many other of touched on along with many other of touched on along with many other things.

It was sort of me and my relationship with was sort of me and my relationship with was sort of me and my relationship with God and sort of that God was just a God and sort of that God was just a God and sort of that God was just a creation creation out of one's own creation creation out of one's own creation creation out of one's own imagination. That it was just because we imagination. That it was just because we imagination. That it was just because we have a longing, so we invented for have a longing, so we invented for have a longing, so we invented for ourselves a God. And then from this ourselves a God. And then from this ourselves a God. And then from this relationship, then things manifest and relationship, then things manifest and relationship, then things manifest and things sprout from this.

things sprout from this. things sprout from this. And And And Pope St. Pius X was actually fighting Pope St. Pius X was actually fighting Pope St. Pius X was actually fighting and saying that it is not some kind of a and saying that it is not some kind of a and saying that it is not some kind of a transference, some emanation of our transference, some emanation of our transference, some emanation of our mind, that it is actually a God that is mind, that it is actually a God that is mind, that it is actually a God that is relational. That God is real and God is relational. That God is real and God is relational. That God is real and God is relational. And in that relationship, he relational. And in that relationship, he relational. And in that relationship, he invites us into that relationship. He invites us into that relationship. He invites us into that relationship. He invites us to respond. It is not just a invites us to respond. It is not just a invites us to respond. It is not just a nice thought. God is nice not a nice nice thought.

We manifest this in our day-to-day actions and our habits. our day-to-day actions and our habits. our day-to-day actions and our habits. And so it is not that our Christianity And so it is not that our Christianity And so it is not that our Christianity is just an intellectual exercise, some is just an intellectual exercise, some is just an intellectual exercise, some kind of philosopher's approach. It is a kind of philosopher's approach. It is a kind of philosopher's approach. It is a lived-out religion. It's lived out in lived-out religion. It's lived out in lived-out religion. It's lived out in relationship, just like God is a relationship, just like God is a relationship, just like God is a relationship of three persons. relationship of three persons. relationship of three persons. And so we always have to ask ourselves And so we always have to ask ourselves And so we always have to ask ourselves and remind ourselves this question of and remind ourselves this question of and remind ourselves this question of why do I do the things that I do?
