Agape

Fr. Rudy imparted a great homily this Sunday. It was very timely for the looming May 10 elections that have caused much division to the Filipino people. It was as well a new insight for me to love my neighbor despite the difference in my religious beliefs. Because what good would it do to me if I'll only love those who love me. Even pagans and non-Christians love like that.

The Gospel today looked at John 15:12 when Jesus said to his disciples, 'This is my commandment: Love one another as I have loved you'. He was teaching about the perfect kind of love - a love that lays down his life for his neighbor and a love that transcends political colors and religious convictions.
