What is the Greatest Commandment? Family Reflection Video

Love thy Neighbor

Jesus talks to us today about inclusivity.

Some time ago, I had the responsibility of organizing an international meeting in West Africa. One of the guests remarked that where we were going would be very different from his home country, and makes me think today what would it be like to invite people who are very different from us to our table, as Jesus does?

With Jesus there is room at the table for everyone. However, we are the ones who don’t always want to make room. We are urged to look out for the interest of everyone else --not just ourselves.

How have I welcomed my brothers and sisters? Am I looking out for others?

May prayer bring calmness to our hearts and unity among all people.
