Diliges proximum (Mt. 22:39)



The gospel today reminds us to always love God and others as we love ourselves. Jesus gives us an example to learn to love God unconditionally. We must love God all the time. Although our prayers are not answered, our love should not stop.

We must also love others as ourselves. It's not easy. We as humans must have the feeling "when our friends wronged us, we must forgive 70 times seven times". It means unlimited forgiveness.

As a collective reflection, if we cannot love our fellow human beings, how will we love the invisible God?

Jesus has given us eternal teaching which is love. Let us love God unconditionally and love others as ourselves.
