HOW TO BE PERFECT

Friday of the Twentienth Week in Ordinary Time Year C Matthew 22:34-40 God is visible through our neighbour. “You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.” Folks, the gospel for today is reminding us that our mission is to love others. Loving our neighbor is the pattern of perfection. Loving our neighbor is our passport to the Kingdom of God. You know what, we cannot love God and then refuse to love our neighbour. Loving God but hating our neighbor is hypocrisy. Friends, we don’t have to be perfect. We just need to move in towards the direction of love. I firmly believed that loving others is the key and password to a fulfilled and happy life. How we treat others paves the way to our own blessedness. Love for God and for others must be full not partial. Let me conclude my reflection with this thought: “Love people not things. Use things not people.” Blessings Fr. Jhack
