(St. John the Apostle, represented in stained-glass, Kildare, Ireland)

"There is much to be said on the subject of charity. Let us beg Our Lord to inspire us with a great love of this virtue. St. John, in his old age, repeated the same words over and over: 'Little children, love one another.'" ~ Almire Pichon, S.J., Seeds of the Kingdom, 1961.

The world has stolen the word "peace" and redefined it. They've also absconded with the word "love" and turned it into something immoral, or at the very least, only of the flesh. Let us think today of how we can love those around us in the true spirit which Our Lord inspired in the beloved disciple St. John. Let us "love each other to Heaven"!
