Shepherd's Voice

Dear Sisters and Brothers, Peace of Risen Christ!

On this Sunday, Our Lord says, “Love one another as I have loved you.”

In this statement, Jesus reminds us that love is the soul of our Christian

life. It is not the liturgy or the cultic worship but love which is the core

and the soul of our Christian life.

When St. Bernard was asked, what is the measure of love, he answered:

“The measure of love is to love without measure.” Our Lord Jesus Christ

gave us an example of a love without measure. He did not condemn

Mary Magdalene. He called St. Matthew to be His apostle even though

Matthew was a tax collector and a sinner. He even was not afraid to

touch and heal the sick and stretched out his hands to the lepers who

were considered as ‘untouchables’ during that time because nobody

wanted to touch them and be near to them. Christ is love and there is no

condition for His divine love.

This is the reason why we have to love one another not in the measure

of our human ability to love or on account of how others can return our

love but as God has loved us.

May the divine love fill our hearts to walk in the light of salvation!

To be the witness for His love,

Fr. Jegan

“I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars.” One day, as St. Teresa of

Calcutta (Mother Teresa, 1910-1997) and her Missionaries of Charity were tending to the poorest of the poor on the streets of Calcutta, they happened across a man lying in the gutter, very near death. He was filthy, dressed in little more than a rag and flies swarmed around his body. Immediately, Mother Teresa embraced him, spoke to him softly and began to pick out the maggots that were nesting in his flesh. A passerby was repulsed by the sight of the man and exclaimed to Moth-er Teresa, “I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars.” Her response was immediate, “Neither would I!” Obviously, monetary gain did not moti-vate the diminutive woman known as the Saint of Calcutta; love did. In her writings, Mother Teresa frequently affirmed the motivating power of love. Quoting Jesus in today’s Gospel, she wrote, “Jesus said, ‘Love one another. Such as my love has been for you, so must your love be for each other.’ She continued, “We must grow in love, and to do this we must go on loving and loving and giving and giving until it hurts - the way Jesus did. Do ordinary things with extraordinary love: little things, like caring for the sick and the homeless, the lonely and the unwanted, washing and cleaning for them.” Elsewhere, Mother Teresa remarked that the greatest disease in the West today is not tuberculosis, leprosy or even A.I.D.S.; it is being unwanted, uncared for, unloved. That she did her part in trying to “cure” this disease was attested in everything she did and in every word she said. (Sanchez Files) http://frtonyshomilies.com/
