Brotherhood.
There is no substitute for the family as a
center of brotherhood. The members of
the family are all brothers and sisters who love one another and whose love
extends to all who come close to the center of their fraternal love. (page 12)
How lacking we are
in love even to those closest to us.
That is why it is so essential that our families be a haven of love,
limited not only to being affectionate and considerate toward one another and
those around us, but helping and forming one another in our search for God, the
source of perfect love. I know I fall
short many times, letting the petty annoyances of life blind me to the infinite
love I have been given and I am called to give in return.
Matthew 18: 21-22
Then Peter approaching asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how
often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to
you, not seven times but seventy-seven times
As we again pray with these verses let us ask
God how he is loving us, challenging us and calling us to live in brotherhood
with one another
Dear Jesus, remind our family to tust your love and forgivenes and to be
loving and forgiving especially to each other but also to everyone as all are our brothers and
sisters
