Brothers and sisters Quote by The Word Among Us Press
““Oh, how much more of the journey do we have to make in order to actually live the new law—the law of the Holy Spirit who acts in us, the law of charity, of love! Looking in newspapers or on television, we see so many wars between Christians: how does this happen? Within the People of God, there are so many wars! How many wars of envy, of jealousy, are waged in neighborhoods, in the workplace! Even within the family itself, there are so many internal wars! We must ask the Lord to make us correctly understand this law of love. How beautiful it is to love one another as true brothers and sisters. How beautiful! Let's do something today. We may all have likes and dislikes; many of us are perhaps a little angry with someone. Then let us say to the Lord, “Lord, I am angry with this or that person; I am praying to you for him or her.” To pray for those with whom we are angry is a beautiful step toward that law of love. Shall we take it? Let's take it today!””
