If souls please thee, be they loved in God.

Excerpt

If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him are they firmly stablished; else would they pass, and pass away. In Him then be they beloved; and carry unto Him along with thee what souls thou canst, and say to them, Him let us love, Him let us love: He made these, nor is He far off. For He did not make them, and so depart, but they are of Him, and in Him.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Saint Augustine, the people you love are changeable, but they find their firmness in God: to love them in Him is to love them with a love that lasts. Today, think of someone dear to you, entrust them to God, and share with them a simple moment that brings you both closer to Him.
