Peter said [to the man crippled from birth], “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk.” Luke 9:16-17a

We all have been blessed with the love of God to give each other. We follow the way of Jesus with our kindness, our attentiveness, our generosity, our care for the ill and dying, our compassion for those who are troubled, our patience with those who irritate us, our efforts to pray for and forgive those who have hurt us. When we do our best to love one another, we are carrying out the healing mission of Jesus.

Today I will follow the Lord by giving a bit of myself as an act of love to the people around me.
