Act of Charity

 

O my God, I love you above all things with my whole heart and soul because you are all good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you. I forgive all who have injured me and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

 

Amen.

The "Read This" helps us dive deeper into what Catholic Theology means by love, helping us to understand how to both define what genuine love is, how it reflects the Trinity, and how we can begin to love like God.
