Reflection
We are called to live according to the commandment
of Jesus to love him and to love one another. Obedience
to the teaching of Christ comes through love, not
fear. It is our faith in Jesus and our love for him
that motivates us to follow his word and to live lives
worthy of his love for us. “If you love me,
you will keep my commandments”. It is the gift
of the Holy Spirit which enables us to respond generously
and wholeheartedly to the commandment of love and
to live in loving imitation of Christ himself.

deceased:
Resa McKeever, Collon, Co Louth and
late of Monea;
