Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, February 01, 2010

Therefore, you are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.
-
Matthew 5:48

Reflection: "To be perfect" means to love God not a little, but a great deal. It means not to stop at the point at which we have arrived, but with His help to progress in love.
- Pope John Paul I

Prayer: Purify my intentions, O Lord, so that my love may be pure. Give courage to my heart, so that my love may be ever more perfect.

From: Minute Meditations from the Popes (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
