Who is my neighbour? Who is my neighbour I am to love?

Many times we hear of stories about life. We hear and read stories about the life of famous people. We know about the life of our close relatives, of our own family members. We know about the story of our own life.

In any person’s life there would be the good and happy moments, or the bad and sad moments. Each of these moments would have their own particular story, a particular situation to recall about. Each moment in life, each situation we encounter in life, is a particular moment that requires love. Life… is all about loving.

As human being we are all called to love. We are all called to love our neighbour. Each human being, coming from any country in the world, practicing any religion, has a golden rule to follow… to love.

As a Christian, practicing the golden rule of love, is to be another Jesus to my neighbour. In every moment of my life, in any situation I find myself in, love is to be the characteristic of my life… that is Jesus. Being Jesus is to share the love of the Father to all the people I be with in every situation of my life.

So, if life is all about loving, why is peace lacking in life? Because love is not being shared and practiced by all. Love requires to be reciprocal. Peace is the answer to reciprocal love, while disunity is the cause of lack of love.

This is what I really would like all to understand, that life is all about loving. Whatever your life is about, whatever situation you find yourself in… love is the answer to your life.

Have you ever stopped for some time to reflect upon whether you help your neighbour or not? This is a reflection that not many persons tend to think about.

Helping my neighbour is a very important aspect of my life. There are different ways and means of how one can help his neighbour. In every occasion I have during the day, no matter who my neighbour is, I try to do my best to help that person in any way I can. It is a lifestyle that helps me to grow in my spiritual life.

Helping my neighbour is an occasion for me to present Jesus to the other person. How? By being humble, being a witness of peace, living my faith to the full, sharing about God’s love… by being Jesus to the other person.

There is only one aim when helping our neighbour: it is to give them Jesus by loving them just as He does.

So… do I help my neighbour? Am I being Jesus to my neighbour?

Just reflect for a few seconds… know that all that Jesus wants from you is to love Him… by loving your neighbour

At times we struggle with different things in life. Maybe for some reason we struggle to go to work… or we struggle to love our dear ones! Maybe we also struggle with our faith and find it difficult to believe in Jesus. We struggle to forgive!

These struggles together with others make our life burdened and weary.

We need to understand that all our struggles have been dealt with by Jesus when He died on the cross for us… for you. Maybe we also struggle to understand this and to believe it.

Maybe all these are the result of not having a personal relationship with Jesus, of not letting Him be part of our life, of not giving Him the chance, of not spending time in prayer.

This is a reality which a lot of people are living… not letting Jesus be part of their life and trying on their own strength to overcome the struggles. The result being, the lack of real peace through love, lived between people.

Today, Jesus is still the answer to overcome all these struggles in life. We only need to Trust Him and in response He will show us the way.

Jesus is waiting for you!

During the past weeks, I have reflected a lot upon people who are spiritually wounded. People who have suffered by being abused or bullied, suffered because of illness, because of experiencing the loss of someone special, traumas caused through divorce, and many more sorrows. Sufferings that can easily result in a spiritual wound of not believing in God, and of feeling abandoned by God. As a result of these spiritual wounds, one can find it difficult to love his neighbour, to help others and to be in peace.

But what can one do to help these people? How can one help these people to overcome these spiritual wounds? How can these people become spiritually strong again?

In my opinion, we need to be bold and share the Good News. We are to share the Good News to these people to give them hope that even in these sufferings, Jesus loves them in a personal way. We are to help them grow in their faith, to trust Jesus in these sufferings, and to ask Him to heal these spiritual wounds.

We are to be there beside them, to comfort them, just as Jesus would comfort them. We are to help them experience that Jesus died on the Cross for them.

We are to be bold, to not be afraid, to ask the Holy Spirit to use us to share the Good News with suffering people. This is the mission for all those who follow Christ. The mission to make a difference in society by sharing the Good News to all.

Jesus and the Cross

Do you ever dedicate time to reflect upon the episode narrating when Jesus died on the cross? Do you know that when Jesus died on the cross, He nailed all our sins to the cross and set us free?

Jesus died on the cross because He loves you. He embraced the cross out of love to set you free from all sins, to set you free from your lack of faith... He is Jesus, the Son of God.

When Jesus embraced the cross, He was embracing you, embracing the same cross you carry in your daily life. The daily cross you carry in your life, is ‘lighter’ to carry if you trust in Him.

We are to be another Jesus in our life, by being Jesus to others. Embracing our cross in our life, through the grace and love of Jesus, is one way of being Jesus to others.

Embracing our cross is embracing Jesus.

Recently I was wondering: How can there be peace in the world? How can I actually love my neighbour? What must one do to fully live one’s Faith?

There are many ways and means of how the above can be achieved. But as I was deeply thinking and reflecting about life, what came to my mind was that the solutions to the above questions can be achieved if one lives the Christian morals and values.

Christian morals and values revolve around spiritual devotion, devotion to the family unit and church family, charity work and respect for and promotion of human dignity. If only each Christian had to fully live these morals and values it would be possible to live in peace with each other, it would be easy to love your neighbour, one would really be living Christianity to the full.

But why is it that certain Christians do not live up to these morals and values? Many reasons could lead to such a situation, but the main reason, in my opinion, is that they would not have developed a personal relationship with Jesus. Having this personal relationship with Jesus, experiencing His love in a personal way, and giving oneself to the loving Father, would result in the person fully living the Christian faith. Having this personal relationship with Jesus, would strengthen the person spiritually sustaining him to go against the currents of today’s world, and by His grace becoming able to say ‘yes’ to His will, and live the Christian morals and values in the various circumstance of life.

So, this is my encouragement to all who want peace in their lives. Seek the relationship with Jesus, let Him mould you into His image… and He will give you the strength to live the Christian morals and values to the full.

Have you ever heard that man has been created in the image of God? When I heard this for the first time and pondered about the meaning of it, I really could see how much God loves me in a personal way. God loves me so much that He made me in His own image.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 6 verse 355 explains that, 'God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them." Man occupies a unique place in creation: (I) he is "in the image of God"; (II) in his own nature he unites the spiritual and material worlds; (III) he is created "male and female"; (IV) God established him in His friendship.'

Furthermore, verse 357 explains that, ‘Being in the image of God the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. He is capable of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving himself and entering into communion with other persons. And he is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to offer him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in his stead.’

The above are powerful words that really help me in my faith and in my desire to follow Christ. Christ loves me just the way I am. He loves me for who I am. His love for me is so great that He desires this personal relationship with me. I am to freely give myself to Him, just the way I am… for I am in the image of God.

Being in His image, I have realised that what is important in my life is to love Him… to love my neighbour… to be who I am by giving myself to others, through the love and grace of God.

Being in the image of God, through His love and grace, I am called to bring His joy and peace to others. I am called to be an instrument of love where there is hatred, to help the poor and needy, to comfort those who are burdened.

I have realised that in accepting myself as being created in the image of God, I have become a fulfilled person and now experience His love. May you also discover that you are created in the image of God.

Another year has nearly ended. Another Christmas has come. Many people will make their wishes hoping that they come true.

Christmas… the day to remember of baby Jesus who was born to bring peace to the world… baby Jesus who was sent by His Father to bring Salvation to all generations. How I wish that this truth is accepted by all people, lived by all, so that peace may really reign.

Christmas… what a lovely gift we can be to one another, to forgive the hurts caused by our neighbours, who could be my family members, work mates, parishioners, friends… how it would be lovely to forgive and make peace. This Christmas give this special gift to others… forgive and make peace.

World leaders, seek what is best for humanity, make this Christmas an occasion of peace with neighbouring countries. Let this day of Christmas be all year round, so all nations would live in peace.

People from all nations, people with different languages, make this Christmas a special Christmas which you would remember for the rest of your lives. Make peace and help those whom you have been in dispute. Let the love of Jesus penetrates your hearts, your being, so that peace may really be part of your life.

This is my humble message to all. This Christmas… make peace with your neighbour.
