Welcome to Day 12 of "Beloved" with Fr. Joseph Fernandes.In the final book of the Old Testament, the prophet Malachi records a staggering statement from God: "I have loved you." Fr. Joseph reveals that in the original Hebrew, this doesn't just mean a past action—it means, "I have always been in love with you."While we often shift our focus to things and people, God’s focus on us never wavers. He is a Father who loves more than a mother, a bridegroom who stays faithful even in our infidelities. Today, we look at the life of St. Matthew—how God saw an evangelist where others saw a sinner—and learn how to respond to this self-giving love with a heart of thanksgiving.🕊️ Today's 5-Minute Prayer Exercise: Focus on Continuous Love and Expansion.The Commitment: 5 Minutes.
