TREATING OTHERS

PRAYER MOMENT

TREATING OTHERS

Pause. Be still.

Reading. “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.” (Matt 7:6, 12-14)

Reflection. Jesus goes on to say, “this is the meaning of the law and the prophets.” But he came to fulfill the law and the prophets. He went far beyond them. He gave his life for us that we might have life to the full. He “emptied” himself and became one like us that he might lead us to become like him. “I was like someone lifting an infant to his cheek.” (Hos 11:4)

Prayer. Teach us, Lord, to be generous and not to count the cost; to give without thinking what we will receive.  Help us to have a heart like yours. You emptied yourself so that you could be like us and so raise us up to share in your life. We praise and thank you. Amen.
