Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus said to his disciples...
“No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Reflection:

Love is one commandment with many faces, many opportunities to put it into practice. If there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for a friend, then we can begin by reflecting on what part of our lives must we “lay down” for the sake of another?

So, we ask ourselves:

• What prejudice, angry feelings and grudges must I lay down out of love for my sisters and brothers?

• How willing am I to “lay down” my free time when another has need?
