To love
 


Jesus wants us to be meek, open, available to listen, capable of defusing tensions and weaving harmony. This is witnessing to Jesus and is worth more than a thousand words and many sermons. The witness of peace.

To love
 


No single active love for God will be lost, no generous effort is meaningless, no painful endurance is wasted. All of these encircle our world like a vital force.

To love
 


What is essential for us as Christians is to know how to love as Christ loves. His greatest gift is the ability to love, and that is what we receive when we make room for the Lord in prayer, when we welcome his presence in his transforming Word, and in the revolutionary humility of his broken Bread.

Jesus washes the feet of his disciples; he has done a strange thing. At that time, feet were washed by slaves at the entrance to the house; and then, Jesus, with a gesture that also touches the heart, washes the feet of the traitor, the one who sells him. That’s how Jesus is, and he teaches us this simply: you must wash each other’s feet.

To love
 


It is important that our ego not be closed up, that it be open to others, especially to the Father, who forgives, and to our brothers. We must let ourselves be tender, be moved by the wounds of those we encounter along the way, know how to share, know how to welcome, how know to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
