The readings for Tuesday present the same theme over and over again: Love
Love is the bond that allows us to interact with each other, whether in the workplace, at home, or among friends. It is also this sacred connection that allows us to be intimate and to understand our Creator (as much as our finite minds can understand Him). And in the same way, just as God wants to continuously remind us that we are truly and uniquely loved by Him, we must also practice this same value with each other.
We are not measured by how much we do for one another, but by God’s grace. With Tuesdays readings in mind, I suggest we practice the same love we are given by God with our brothers and sisters (1 John 4:7-10). Whether it is saying 'hi' to an old friend, getting to know your boss a little better, or striking up a conversation with a co-worker that you see sitting by him or herself at lunch, let people know that they are loved. And just as Jesus fed over five thousand people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, let’s practice giving to those in need, spiritually or emotionally. Remember, we may be imperfect and flawed, but in every moment we will always be truly loved by the One who knows all things.
