They Will Know Us By Our Love

My Mother accompanied Me everywhere with her love, her sacrifices and her prayers. You must do the same, and I will bless your efforts. (January 17, 1964)

Today’s Readings: 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.” (John 13)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, in this world, they are not going to truly know us or be convinced by our knowledge of the faith, our intellectual rigor, or even signs and wonders if they are not done in love. Without love, we are but clanging symbols! (1 Corinthians 13). To love like Our Mother ,Lord is to accompany our loved ones everywhere with love, prayer and sacrifice. To love like You is to lay down our lives even when it is hard and no one is around to console us. Lord this is a hard love! And impossible to do on our own but Lord Your Grace is enough! Use us broken as we are Lord to let Your Kingdom shine through us!
