WITNESSES OF GOD’S LOVE
In today’s Gospel passage Jesus says, “You are my friends if you do what I command you” and his commandment is this, “Love one another as I have loved you”. The love of Jesus for us is the benchmark for our love towards our neighbour. Jesus loved everyone, the sinners, the fault finders, the conspirators and executioners. His was never discriminant in his love.
We know who we are. We are sinful, weak, wretched and fragile, still we experience that God loves us unconditionally. Jesus wants us to exercise this love towards our neighbour. In this way we become witnesses of God’s love to everyone around us. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord Jesus, give us the grace to be the witnesses of your love to our neighbours”
Amen
