Reflection - New Commandment of Love
In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus sums up Christianity
in one word – love. This is the one commandment
on which we are called to base every action and it
is the very core of the Gospel. Love has the power
to give meaning to impossible situations, to bring
light into darkness, to inspire people, fill them
with hope and give them the courage to continue on
the road ahead. The gospel is an invitation to look
into our hearts and see how we are answering this
call to love. There is always the danger that we may
be in love with ourselves instead of with one another.
The presence of God so easily fades into the background
when we give way to this inner selfishness. The real
test of love is how we respect others. No-one can
be friend of Jesus who does not love his neighbour.
At the end of every Mass we are asked to go in peace
to love and serve the Lord. This would suggest that
we show our love for God in our everyday dealings
with other people. Our love of each other is an expression
of our love of God and it also gives us our Christian
identity.
Deaths
We pray for the recently deceased:
Fr Cosmas Donnelly CP, Enniskillen
and Botswana;
Tommy Dorothy, London and Wellington
Place;
Oliver McCluskey, 54 Carnmore Rise.
May they rest in peace.
