Weekly Guide for Daily Prayer The Daily Reflections

Too many times in our life we are susceptible to judging others or being jealous of what they have that we don’t.  The Lord says that we should not covet our neighbor’s goods nor should we slander others with our tongues.   We need to live in peace with our neighbors because just like us, they are made in God’s image as well and are his children.  No human being is greater than another and, therefore, we must all treat each other as brothers and sisters.

We mustn’t hide this love for one another though, but instead show it in our everyday lives.  Jesus says, “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel.”  What is the purpose of having love if you are not going to share it with those around you?  If we allow ourselves to be open and share our love with one another, then we can achieve anything that our heart desires.
