The Commandment We Need To Follow Is,
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER"
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER"
We are all called to be good servants to one another each
and every day of our lives.
In today's Gospel
Jesus says, "Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever
loses it will save it" (Lk 17:33). If God is Love, then anything unloving
or unyielding in our spirit must be surrendered before approaching final union
with the Lord. Hardness of heart isn't compatible with love. We must let it go!
In the Scriptures,
both John and Jesus tell the disciples to keep their focus. The Commandment
they have to follow is not a new one, it was the first and most important
Commandment given to Moses. "Love one another." The world, too, is
full of noise and chaos. There is a lot of empty teaching aimed at false
promises to make us feel good. So we, too, must focus on staying the course
with Jesus Christ.
In the Responsorial
Psalm we acclaim, "With all my heart I seek You; let me not stray from
Your commands" (Ps 119:10). We are all called to be good servants to one
another each and every day of our lives.
The Commandment we
need to follow is, "LOVE ONE ANOTHER!"
