Reading 255, from Romeo and Juliet

romeo-juliet-romeo-and-juliet-431830_1024_768

I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

Shakespeare

My notes:

To be christened with love is the essence of  discipleship. The world, after all, is polarized: those who can and do love others and those who simply cannot love. The Kingdom of God is a realm of Love. & I believe that love is not a noun, it is a verb. We have to consciously love; with all our hearts and beings. Romeo’s old self is erased when he experiences love. He is now a neophyte given over to the Passion of the Christ.

Prayer

Lord, bathe me in your Love. Enable me to love my family first and always.

  10. romeo and juliet was touching romance.
    it stood out in a way, as it was in todays time and it capulated the christian religion in the elizabethans and how true love might not conquer all but it makes the whole world relize the disaster they have made.
