“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:12-13 World English Bible
Reflection
Every community rests upon the quiet sacrifices of ordinary neighbours who put others before themselves. When self-interest yields to generous care, families gain stability and vulnerable people find tangible help. Asking for a spirit of sacrificial service changes how citizens relate to those in hardship. May hearts be softened to give time, energy, and resources freely, demonstrating genuine compassion that heals divisions and strengthens civic bonds from coast to coast.
Prayer
Pray for the grace to lay down our lives in love for friends, family, and those in need, reflecting the love of Jesus.
