Campus Ministry Reflections “Love, Love, Love, Love! Christians this is our call. Love your sisters and your brothers. God is Love.” This simple song that we sing during our Antioch Retreats is a great reminder of God’s commandment to LOVE. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that the greatest commandment is to love God and our neighbor. When I was a child, the commandment to love God and neighbor seemed simple enough. My world just wasn’t that big and I couldn’t imagine anyone being unlovable. But I have to admit that the commandment to love my neighbor can be quite challenging now that I understand that love demands action and personal sacrifice. This week, we had the privilege of participating in a Zoom Meeting with Sr. Helen Prejean, CSJ. What an example of love in action!! She has been a loving presence to many, many prisoners on death row and has worked tirelessly to end the death penalty in our country.
Sometimes it’s hard enough to be loving to the people in my own family, let alone people on death row. Can I love the person who exposed me to Covid-19? What about the people who disagree with my political views? Does God really expect me to love people who have hurt me or my family? How am I called to love refugees and immigrants? Do I love my LGBTQ brothers and sisters enough to speak out on their behalf? Are my actions demonstrating love for people of color? How well am I loving the poor and oppressed, the sick and dying, the elderly and the unborn? What am I to do to show my love (and God’s) to my neighbors?
