We all long for a beautiful home and a pleasant neighbourhood, where people help one another, respect one another and have time for one another. We long for a group of people where we are not afraid of others but can trust everyone. It is not only you and I who want such good relationships between people. God wants it. In the Gospel today, Christ says: ‘I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you.’
GOSPEL – JOHN 13: 31-35
When Judas had left them, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.”
