About Today Readings

Acts 15:22-31. I will praise you among the nations, O Lord – Ps 56(57):8-12. John 15:12-17.

In essence – love

Lord, you’ve given it to us in a sentence: ‘Love one another, as I have loved you.’ It’s as simple as that, isn’t it? We get so caught up in our own thoughts, distractions and preoccupations that lead us astray. We complicate it all. But you insist, and repeat it a few lines later.

Holy Spirit, come along with me into the day as my friend and keep reminding me of the simplicity of this commandment.
