**Can't Love God and the World*

        In today's first reading from 1 John 2, we heard read "Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world." We should know that whatever makes us forget about the Father is from the world and is not to be indulged in or embraced. Accept only what comes from the Father to remain in his love.
