Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine\u2019s Day this year. While many couples have decided to celebrate their love by going out for a romantic dinner earlier, over the past weekend, or on Mardi Gras, there is another solution sweeping social media:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"love

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those who are more inclined to \u2018marry\u2019 the two events which share the calendar, and are willing to look a little more deeply at what our human love relationships and the beginning of lent have in common, the vistas are broader than it first seems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marriage, and other relationships based on real love are made of more than just candlelight, gourmet dinners, and chocolate.\u00a0 Lent is about more than fasting.\u00a0 Both are rooted in a love that is willing, in fact, committed, to self-sacrifice for the beloved.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

No one has greater love than this,\u00a0to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends.<\/p>\n

\u2013 John 13:15<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What if, this Valentine\u2019s Day, and this Lent, we looked past what we are giving up by fasting and abstinence, and instead, took the plunge to love our beloved as Christ loves us.\u00a0 A little less steak and chocolate, a lot more patience and forgiveness.\u00a0 Less presents, more presence.\u00a0 Giving less jewels but more joy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is no greater love within a marriage and a family than for the spouses and children to lay down their lives for one another. This is the heart of the vocation of marriage, the heart of the call to become holy\u201d \u00a0-USCCB, Pastoral letter:\u00a0Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

40 days of laying down our lives in love for Christ and for our beloved here on earth\u2026 40 days of learning to love like God desires us to.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf a person really loves another, that is, really desires the total good of the other person, then such a person is committed by the very nature of love to give of himself or of herself for the sake, the good, of that other person. Giving of oneself involves sacrifice; it means that I make the other person a priority; it demands dying to self in order to live for the other.\u201d -Bishop of Arlington, Paul Loverde<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What if we took this lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday\/Valentines\u2019 Day to recommit to our vocation- our path to holiness, our marriages, and relationships, in seeking the good of others with love, even when it costs us?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What if, by bringing the two days together, God is asking us to love more, and to love more like He does?\u00a0 If part of the lay vocation is to sanctify the secular world, then this only makes sense. We have a magnificent opportunity this Wednesday- to reclaim human love to be in the image and likeness of God\u2019s love for us.\u00a0 It\u2019s a chance to reset our selfish fantasies about love and reorder our expectations and commitments to be what they should be, a free and joyful self-giving for the good of the other.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat some people love is not a person but the experience of being in love. The first is irreplaceable; the second is not.\u201d\u00a0 \u2015\u00a0Fulton J. Sheen<\/a>,\u00a0Three to Get Married<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What if we really took this radical plunge during Lent?\u00a0 Perhaps we would understand better the depth of Christ\u2019s love as the bridegroom for us as his bride?\u00a0 Perhaps we would see God, the often overlooked \u201c3rd<\/sup>\u00a0person\u201d in our marriages, more clearly?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHow can one love self without being selfish? How can one love others without losing self? The answer is: By loving both self and neighbor in God. It is His Love that makes us love both self and neighbor rightly.\u201d\u00a0\u2015\u00a0Fulton J. Sheen<\/a>,\u00a0Three to Get Married<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps our relationships would become richer and more precious to us, celebrated more deeply by loving sacrifice than by sharing steak and chocolates\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking of chocolate (which is another of my loves) I recently had the double surprise of indulging not only in a delicious treat but in the strikingly wise poetry on the back of the wrapper\u2026 God is awesome in his generosity that way.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The full poem is:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh, No \u2013 Not E\u2019en When First We Loved.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

by Thomas Moore<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh! no \u2014 not e\u2019en when first we loved,
Wert thou as dear as now thou art;
Thy beauty then my senses moved,
But now thy virtues bind my heart.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What was but Passion\u2019s sigh before,
Has since been turned to Reason\u2019s vow;
And, though I then might love thee more,
Trust me, I love thee better now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although my heart in earlier youth
Might kindle with more wild desire,
Believe me, it has gained in truth
Much more than it has lost in fire.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flame now warms my inmost core,
That then but sparkled o\u2019er my brow;
And, though I seem\u2019d to love thee more,
Yet, oh! I love thee better now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Ash Wednesday, and this whole Lent, let\u2019s let God lead us and our marriages in a deeper and stronger love that discovers its true worth, and the depth of its fire and joy, in self-giving.\u00a0 And, 40 days later, may we rejoice in the triumph of resurrection of Christ over death, and in our relationships as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

She and her husband Paul have six kids who are growing up way too fast, and two crazy dogs to add to the fun.\u00a0 Kerrie and Paul became members of Regnum Christi in 1999. Her missionary passions include communication as evangelization, accompanying people as they discover and live in the love of Christ, volunteering at Pinecrest Academy, and regularly stocking the house with snacks for the random number of teenagers and young adults who habitually show up in her kitchen. She deeply values learning from the wisdom of people she meets on family missions to the homeless in downtown Atlanta. If she had all the time in the world, she would spend more of it in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, traveling, reading classic literature, and practicing Spanish.  ","url":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/author\/krivard\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124797"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=124797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
