Small, Small World

The reality of my world is ‘what I believe’…and ‘what I believe’ is mostly in my head.  Therefore my world is a small, small world indeed…a world cluttered with fears, doubts, worries and misgivings.  If not for the light at the end of the tunnel my world would be an intolerable place.  Christ is the light at the end of the tunnel and today’s Gospel reminds me that Christ did away with the old rules…and gave me a new rule. It is no longer and eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth…but to love one another and he loved us.

John 13:34,35

“I give you a new commandment: love one another.

As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.

This is how all will know that you are my disciples,

if you have love for one another.”
