Consecration to the Holy Family

As we see, God gives Himself to us through love, and this love, when it is kindled in a heart, softens everything, sweetens everything, because it extinguishes the fire of unruly passions and smooths the ways of holiness, which consists in the observance of the divine Law, through love. It is then that the person’s love for God becomes more fervent, and the union between them is made closer by strong and unbreakable bonds, until this love becomes the person’s very life. And, led by this love, gives him/herself completely to God and to others, for the love of God. What one then desires is to communicate to others this treasure of grace and happiness which we ourselves now possess within us, to make the way smooth for them and help them to continue on it, so that they may enjoy the same good fortune which has made us happy: love.
