January 16
Love your neighbor

While at prayer, I begged our Lord to make known to me by what means I could satisfy the desire that I had
to love Him.
He gave me to understand that one cannot better show one's love for Him
than by loving one's neighbor for love of Him;
and that I must work for the salvation of others,
forgetting my own interest in order to espouse those of my neighbor,
both in my prayers and in all the good I might be able to do
by the mercy of God.
S. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Reflection
The whole law and the prophets
are all contained in the Great Commandment.
Through all our experiences
every day
we come to understand this more and more. crsr
