I L-O-V-E . . .
April 7, 2013

My husband and I were at a public swimming pool when the people around us started staring into the sky. A small plane was emitting smoke in the form of letters. As we watched, the pilot spelled out the letters: “I L-O-V-E.” People began speculating: Maybe it was to be a marriage proposal. Perhaps a romantic man is standing nearby on a balcony with his girlfriend and will soon pop the Will-you-marry-me? question. We kept gazing upward: “I L-O-V-E Y-O-U J-E-.” I heard young girls guessing: “I bet it will be Jen or maybe Jessica.” He kept spelling. No. It was: “J-E-S-U-S.” The pilot was declaring love for Jesus for many people to see.

A friend of mine often ends his prayers with “I love You, Lord.” He says, “I can’t help but say ‘I love You’ after all He’s done for me.” In Romans 6:1-11, our Bible text for today, the apostle Paul tells us some of what Jesus has done for us that deserves our love: He was crucified, buried, and raised to life. Because of that, those of us who have put our faith in Jesus now have a new life (v.4), we no longer have to be controlled by sin or fear of death (vv.6,9), and one day we too will be resurrected to live with Him forever (v.8).

No wonder we say, “I love You, Jesus!”

Redeemed—how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy—
His child, and forever, I am. —Crosby

To show His love, Jesus died for us; to show our love, we live for Him.

Read: Romans 6:1-11

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. —Romans 6:8

Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 9:18-36

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I don't know if you've seen it on the news, but a chaplain from the Korean War will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor this week.

Chaplain Captain the Reverend Emil Kapaun, a Roman Catholic Priest from Pilsen, Kansas, was captured by the Chinese while serving with the 8th Cavalry Regiment at Unsan in November 1950. For the next six months, he worked tirelessly to feed his fellow prisoners, scavenging for food in nearby fields and stealing from the guards and the supply huts. In addition, he saw to their spiritual needs, helping them resist the Chinese and North Korean attempts at brainwashing the prisoners into betraying their countrymen; even defying orders and holding mass on Easter Sunday 1951.

On May 23, 1951, his body weakened by pneumonia and dysentery, Chaplain Kapaun died in the Pyoktong POW Camp. His last words were to a friend and fellow prisoner, LT Mike Dowe, "Hey, Mike, don't worry about me. I'm going to where I always wanted to go and I'll say a prayer for all of you."

Additionally, the Roman Catholic Church is currently examining the possibility of sainthood for Chaplain Kapaun.
