We are a family born from love, a family in which one
must
live with love toward the Father—live, that is, a life of
holiness—a
life with inner relationships that are as among
brothers
and sisters, and that must be regulated by love.
We
are a family. All of us are brothers and
sisters in Christ. I remember reading in
Bishop Giaquinta’s book, Brotherhood that we should treat everyone as though we
have always known them because they either already are our brother/sister or
they could potentially become so. I fail
so often at this. Even those who really
are my family or close friends I often do not give the care and consideration
they deserve. I so easily take them for
granted.
Let
our action this day be to pray for the grace to treat everyone as though we
have always known them. And then let us
actually DO IT. Can you imagine what a
different, amazing world we would live in if we treated everyone we met with
the same love which we give our spouse, parent, or very best friend? It would be a revolution indeed. (Joan Kash, wife and long time Pro Sanctity
member Pro Sanctity Central States)
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)
