Homily for Friday of the 20th Week in Ordinary Time

God calls us to be people of love, to be instruments of His love in our world, to speak out against evil and injustice, and to do our part to bring peace and justice to our world. This doesn't mean we condemn others; it means we show others how to love through our example.

In John's Gospel, Jesus says, "By this, shall [people] know that you are my disciples: if you love one another."

As we seek to bring today's Gospel alive in our hearts and lives, let us pray that God might let the fire of His love burn brightly in our hearts so that we might show His love to all people and express His love in our service to one another.
