"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you."
John 15:13-14
What is Jesus asking of us? "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."" 1 Corinthians 11:24. The sacrifice of the mass is Jesus laying down His life for us, do we lay down our life for Him? "This is my commandment: love one another as I love you." John 15:12. Jesus walked this planet and loved saint and sinner alike, He didn't condemn the sinner and love the saint. He loved them both equally and His actions spoke to that. Will you lay down any self righteousness and love as Jesus did. I think about all the problems that would disappear if we would just love each other even when we are not receiving the love back. God won hearts by loving others, are you loving others or condemning them on their cross. "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you."
John 15:13-14
Dear Lord, I see the lack of love in some thinking they are right and condemning Your body, impacting Your creation. Open hearts to see the pain that is being caused and bring Your healing power into their lives. Help them see You laying down Your life so we can live forever. Thank You Jesus for laying down Your life for me, may I lay mine down for You in how I treat others. Bring peace into homes that desperately need peace, bring sacrifice into hearts that are self righteous. Bring love back where love was. I ask this in Your Holy Name, Jesus Christ.
Mary, Mother of Love, show us the way.
