Loving God and your neighbour is not just what we believe — it is what we are asked to live. Salvation is not a gift offered to those who think all the right things, but to people whose lives reflect the truth God reveals. It isn’t enough that you know what the right thing is if you don’t actually do it. So, in the middle of this summer’s “Ordinary Time”, go and love God. Make space to pray from …the beach or the boat or in your own backyard. Pray for people He has asked you to carry. Connect with neighbours, stop for someone in need, give some of your time or money to someone who needs it more than you. Salvation isn’t just something we get, but something that gives our lives away at the same time. It’s a beautiful life, now and into eternity….
For the desire to participate in God saving us and the whole world, we pray to the Lord.
