Daily Message from Pope Francis – We do Not Love to Gain Favor in Return


FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 2021

“It is right to present our needs to God’s heart, but the Lord, who acts far beyond our expectations, wishes to live with us first of all in a relationship of love. And true love is disinterested, it is free: one does not love to receive a favour in return! This is self-interest; and very often in life we are motivated by self-interest.”
Pope Francis
