PRAY TOGETHER
Today’s liturgical Readings teach us that we are children of God, bound together in love. We are mutually responsible for the good of each other. The commandments of God are meant not only to help us live a harmonious social life but also to help and support one another in the bond of love. That is why all the commandments can be summarised into just one: love of God and love of neighbour. “Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law,” says St Paul. Mutual love, help and support also should include mutual and brotherly/sisterly correction. If a member of our community goes astray, the entire community is responsible because each one of us is a ‘watchman of the house of God’. On the contrary, if a member of our community does good and grows in holiness, the entire community is to have the credit. Let today’s Eucharistic celebration reinforce our sense of community and increase our responsibility towards one another.
