Bible reading: John 13:1-17 & 31b-35
Today’s verse: John
13:34-35
“A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I
have loved you, so you must love one another. All people will know you are my
disciples if you love one another.”
Love is at the heart of our
Christian faith and was the main theme of John’s Gospel, as well as his church
letters. The apostle’s love for Jesus was effectively shown by his lifelong
devotion to Christ’s’ ministry and mission.
As 21st century
Christians, we are called to continue that ministry by showing love to one
another, especially in our church as well as across our community. Our mission
is meant to both proclaim and show that Christ’s love for the world still
effectively endures.
How do I express
my love for Jesus in my life? How is Christ’s love expressed by His Church in
today’s society?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach us Your loving
ways and help us to be effective witnesses of Your compassion. As we commune
with one another, let us also reach out to our community and the world during
this sacred time. In Your Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
