Como Utilizamos Su Regalo
“POR ESTE AMOR RECONOCERAN TODOAS QUE USTEDES SON MIS DISCIPULOS….” Y no por una medallita que se lleva colgada al cuello… Y no por nacerse la señal de la cruz cada vez que pasan frente a una iglesia o antes de echarse un clavado… Y no porque lleven un rosario colgado en el espejo retrovisor del auto, o una imagen religiosa en el tablero del autobús. (todo lo cual esta bien, pero ciertamente no basta). Sino porque en la casa o en la calle no se faltan al respeto ni se enojan por cualquier cosa… Sino porque son buenos vecinos, compañeros de escuela o de trabajo, y toman en cuenta a los demás… Y algo mas que eso, amándonos como el Señor nos ha amado.
