Reflection Corner: Love One Another ( John 13: 34)
Jesus’ word always calls us to appreciate His love for us so that we can love others in simple and meaningful ways. How can I really stay in the present and meet others where they are? How can I really hear what someone is trying to say? How can I help someone feel the ever present love of God? Sometimes showing love for another is so easy to do and sometimes it is the last thing I want to do.
Prayer:
God of love, being guided by your commandment to love one another as I have loved you, help us to appreciate and spread your presence through our word and deed and be responsive to the needs of the here and now. Amen.
