Love

No Greater Love September 15: on Love


 * //1. "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary." (pg. 22) Comment.//**
 * //2. a. "If we are more willing to see the good and beautiful things that surround us, we would be able to transform our families . . . neighbors . . . neighborhood . . . city . . . world." (pg. 26)//**
 * //b. "The best way to show your gratitude to God and people is to accept everything with joy." (pg. 33)//**
 * //Both of these statements describe a "eucharistic (thankful) disposition." Share something you recently saw as "good or beautiful" or that you "accepted with joy."//**
 * //3. "We must love those who are nearest to us, in our own family . . . it is not always easy to love those who live right next to us." (pg. 27) Why is this so true, so hard, and so essential?//**
 * //4. "But if we want others to become aware of the presence of Jesus, we must be the first ones convinced of it." (pg. 28) How convinced are you?//**
 * //5. "If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. The Lord has willed me here where I am. He will offer a solution." (pg. 30) How does this challenge and encourage you in your ministry?//**
