Today we contemplate the command Jesus gave all His believers to love their neighbors, as we love ourselves. Take a moment today to realize who the people are that you encounter each day and to realize those are the neighbors Christ has commanded you love. Some are lovable, some may be hard to love. Love in this sense is more than a feeling, it is an action; how can you show kindness and respect to someone who is outside your normal circle of friends? How can you let them see the love of Christ in you?

God's grace be with you,
Fr. Charles Butler
