When I was invited for a road trip to Texas last December, I was able to
attend a wedding of the niece of the couple who brought me there. It was a
beautiful ceremony.
The priest said to the couple, “You don't need a homily, what you are
doing now is a homily. Remember this moment when you encounter challenges in
the future and it will remind you of your love for God and for each other.” He
said further, “So many have fought for independence but today you surrender
yourself to each other, for love.”
That’s the power of love, the power to surrender! I think it is more
courageous to surrender than to insist on winning all the time. Here, character
is tested and true worth revealed. Surrender is meaningful when you surrender
to love. We only need to look at the cross to be reminded of this.
He surrendered to regain us all and in the end, Christ is victorious.
And we, who follow His path, we are victorious too, because when we surrender
to love, victory always follows.
