Love your neighbor as yourself ...

By loving others we will learn more about ourselves
"Love one another as I have loved you”In this thought contains the essence of true Christianity. A concept that may seem difficult to put into everyday practice. Not even the great sacrifice that cost Jesus his life makes us reflect on the importance of love of neighbor. But we must dwell on some reflections by asking ourselves some questions, perhaps even trivial ones, to which we cannot find true and logical answers. So let's ask ourselves: Why do we dress in foreign clothes? Why do we come to worship foreign idols? Why do we like to drink foreign drinks? And the list could go on forever ...

But if we then meet in the street an ordinary foreigner who insists on cleaning the windshield wiper, the adoration and the choice of the foreigner no longer falls on him. In many ways Jesus taught us love, the true one, love without falsehood, that selfless love towards one's neighbor, in short, authentic, untouchable love. It has often happened to us to witness every type of baseness of the human race, as well as the acts of great faith of the few people who, with great dignity, pick up their cross, as Jesus did. What upsets is the indifference of the people. towards the next. Only when we come to understand that by deciding to place our lives in the hands of the Lord can we save our neighbors and ourselves. The Lord asks us to entrust the fate of our journey in his direction so that our soul and conscience are clean.
