The Holy Spirit helps us to understand "the love of Christ for us" and to prepare our hearts to "allow ourselves to be loved" by the Lord.
Pope Francis made that point during Mass on Thursday, as he reflected on the First Reading (Rm 8:31b-39).
St Paul, he said, could seem to some to be "too proud" or "too sure of himself" when he affirms that "anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword" will succeed in separating us from Christ.
Pope Francis said St Paul is really showing us that "we conquer overwhelmingly" through the love of Christ!

Ever since the Lord called to Paul along the road to Damascus, the Apostle to the Gentiles "sought to understand the mystery of Christ."

Is Pope Francis right about traditionalists who love the ...right-about...I loved his comment that love is not rigid and love will be crucial when we are being judged one day by Christ the King of the Universe. I suspect Pope Francis is appealing to our motives.!! She explains, "Working with Chris [Van Etten, co-head writer] was just a delight. I love the show. But there are just too many other things I wanted to do. When it got to the last year of my contract, I thought, 'Yeah, I think it's time.' "

Altman: Initially, I didn't. I'm an idea person. I can't help myself. I always felt like I was a major contributor to any team that I was a part of, but I was also busy being a single mother raising two sons. I did not feel that I needed that extra pressure. But when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at it.
Digest: Was it intimidating to take over as head writer on Y&R, a show you had only been working on for a few months?
