Laying down my life for my friends! This Gospel talks about how we are called to present to others with the love of God. In a society which actually shapes the world in our own image and likeness we are called to delve deeper to find how God wishes to shape of world in his image and likeness. There is a need to discover the bedrock that can sustain others with life and hope. God does not call us to be superhuman but fully human. This is the call which is placed on each human heart to be present to to each other as we can. Often we can think or feel that God's call is beyond us or demands too much off us. In fact it is far simpler and more direct than we can imagine. It calls us to be our best self in relationship with God and with each other. It calls us to offer the whole of ourselves and hold nothing back. Our lives are called to be given away for the good of others. The paradox is that as we give our lives away we have more life to give. We become the person we can be. We can become saints. May we discover this day what it is that will bring life and hope to the another person.
