Unconditional love for the Father, tenderness toward
Christ
crucified out of love, docility and abandonment to the
Spirit’s
action flooding our being, brotherhood capable of
knowing
humiliation and even death for one’s brothers,
universal
love that becomes the characteristic element of life,
courage
before the difficulties and persecutions found in the
world,
a world that must not be abandoned but sought out as
the
brother who must be helped to return to the
Father…--this
is the world of concrete and possible hope that the
Risen
Christ has already revealed to us, a world that is
waiting for
our acceptance and our responsible cooperation to make
a
reality. We were created to be faithful to the love of God for each of us. Today many are falling to the secular world of which we do not belong. I must be faithful to stand before God bringing my fallen brothers and sisters with me. I must sacrifice for my persecuted brothers and sisters to give them the strength and courage to remain faithful in their suffering. How is that possible? Giving up the hurting responses ; thinking before reacting; offering the hurt feelings; responding to others with compassion and love are ways that we can imitate Christ's redemptive love for our brothers and sisters who are hurting in some way. (Anne Zugelder, Apostolic Oblate, Pro Sanctity California)
We wish to fulfill the mission you
have entrusted to us to speak of love and brotherhood to everyone. Therefore, grant us, O Lord, the ability to
speak and the courage to witness (from the prayer Builders of a New World, William Giaquinta)
