Universal Love
In summary, the reflection today is about how it is possible to bring people together in love. In today's Gospel (John 5:33-36) Jesus is addressing the Jews saying that John (oh, it's about John again ;) was a burning and shining lamp who gave a testimony. However, Jesus says that He has a greater testimony, the Father sent Him to accomplish many works. We are all given many works, some that are fun, easy, enjoyable. Others that are annoying, hard, boring. Which of these tasks do we accomplish with love, especially love that brings others together or even love to them? I really and truly like my job. I like what I do. I don't like the pay, but it is what it is for the time being. Even though I may like my job, it's not always easy. I care for combative residents that are usually not grateful for what I do for them. However, I need to stay positive and put love into what I do. When I do, I am not only happier, but there seems to be more of a positive atmosphere around me. That's how I spread love in my everyday routine.
