In Sunday’s Gospel we are told to “love one another.” We sometimes find it difficult to love those that are not part of our family or close friends or who are in some way different than we are. Being children of God means we are all brothers and sisters.

To be good shepherds, as Jesus is for us, means more than just demonstrating a caring sentiment; it is a calling. It is our vocation as people and as Christians.  

We pray together: St. Jude, I come before you filled with hope. Help me to love my neighbor as myself, and through my love give glory to God, our creator.
