So my brothers and sisters in Christ, since God is love and love is of God, let us love one another, because everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God, but whoever is without love does not know God.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us pray in today’s Eucharistic celebration for the grace to emulate the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in practicing the virtues of family life they taught us by effectively communicating better with one another; by listening to each other when we communicate; by understanding one another as we communicate, and lastly, by sacrificing for the sake and good of the other.
