That’s a mind-blowing thought, isn’t it? It’s the greatest gift we’ll ever receive, but it also comes with great responsibility. We can be worthy of, and return that love, in so many ways: by keeping God’s commandments; by taking care of the poor, broken, ill and neglected; and by sharing the Truth with others. It all comes down to imitating Christ in all that we do. It’s a continuous circle of love, flowing from one to another, in our surrender to Christ’s love every day of our lives.   #### Ponder:   Do I realize the tremendous gift of God's love for me, and do I take time daily to thank God and share that love with others?   #### Pray: Holy Trinity, one God, I worship You alone, and my heart belongs to You. Thank You for Your great and life-giving love for me!   --- > [Click to tweet:](https://ctt.ac/af2y4) > [Do you realize the tremendous gift of God's love for you? #DailyGospel](https://ctt.ac/af2y4) ![Daily Gospel 2](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Daily%20Gospel%202.png?width=2135&name=Daily%20Gospel%202.png)   --- Copyright 2024 Charlene Rack ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-05022024%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-05022024%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-05022024%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Daily%20Gospel%20Reflection%20for%20May%202%2C%202024) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-05022024%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-05022024%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Charlene Rack](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Charlene%20Rack%202.jpg) ### [Charlene Rack](https://www.catholicmom.com/daily-gospel/author/charlene-rack) Charlene Rack grew up in the "heartland," moved south to Cincinnati, married a Catholic man, converted to Catholicism, and had three children.
