Reflection on Sunday's readings

In this weekend’s second reading, St. Paul reminds us to love one another. He asks us to ponder that a person who is loved does not do evil to another. As we continue to slog our way through the challenges we face day after day, we pray that we regularly and consistently look into the depths of our being where the love of God has dwelled since our conception. As we allow our God who comforts to smile on us, we pray that we can be a light of hope and healing for our world that is broken and in pain. We embrace as fully as possible our mission to be people who choose to look for and affirm every positive we can point to, if for no other reason than we have been created by our all-loving God. We develop every way possible to honor the dignity we enjoy as a sister or brother of our Divine Savior. We choose to lift up in thanksgiving even the smallest act of kindness so that God can bless us anew and empower us to keep ourselves anchored in the richness of God’s grace.
