This Week in the Bulletin:

A Call to Love

Before his death, at the Last Supper, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and taught them about the new commandment of love. He pointed them towards his sacrifice on the cross when he would pour out his life so that all people might be saved. To love unto death is the greatest act of love possible. The death of Jesus on the cross is not a failure but a triumph of love; a triumph through which he is glorified.
Women and men through the ages bear witness to the power of the commandment of love. All the great and little acts of love swell up into a great tidal wave which brings joy to countless people each day. If only all these acts of love could be counted! Only God sees the full picture of all the joy and grateful thanks. I can imagine God chuckling with delight.
This promise of the triumph of love gives hope to live another day and hope for the future. Love creates an eschatological hope, a hope for the future and the promise of eternal life, which is only fulfilled at the end of time, when we shall live eternally in a new life with a resurrected body with God and know love, joy and delight. There will be no more grief, no sadness, no mourning or death. This will pass away into oblivion. Only joy.
The testimony of love gives heart to us and to all the disciples of Christ in the Church. It inspires us onwards to keep running the race to the finish. We are encouraged to be faithful in the call to love, even when it costs dearly. There is no situation which is hopeless. There is no love which will not be rewarded. No action is too small not to have eternal significance. If we viewed life in this way, then we would rejoice and be glad. This joy will attract others to Christ. Joy is always powerfully attractive and infectious.
