Greetings Prayer
Warriors,
When you contemplate
your marriage, can you accuse yourself of extravagant love? I’m not referring
to an over-the-top display of gift giving, but rather a boundless gift of self-giving.
There are many examples
in scripture of extravagant love. Consider how Mary, Lazarus’ sister, focused
on the cost of love versus the price of something, and anointed the feet of
Christ, intuiting the necessity.
Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair. John 12:3
The Blessed Mother
lived a life of extravagant love beginning with her magnificat to her humble
and unwavering love for Jesus, never leaving his side, even when it pierced her
heart to stay and witness the torture of her son.
Gazing upon a
crucifix, there before you is the definition of extravagant Love. He loves you so much, no price was too much
for your salvation. He was and still is
parched for your love.
Jesus said, “I thirst.” John 19:28
As you step
forward into Holy Week, walk with Jesus and ask Him to help you be more extravagant
in your marital love. What could be a more beautiful prayer for your marriage?
Peace, Joy, and
Love,
Janet
Enter in to His Passion
that you might be transformed. Pass it on!
