Sometimes, we think service has a lot to do with performing great acts…it’s about working our tail off for others. In reality, this is not exactly the case. It’s much more about how we are able to reach the heart of another person by sharing our inner selves. Of course, in our American pragmatic world, this can sometimes be uncomfortable for us, but it shows us how we are called to open ourselves to others and reach out in the simplest of ways to them.
The movie below is beautiful. It shows how we are called to give to one another. In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that we are no longer servants, but friends. Let’s treat one another as friends, and as Jesus exhorts us, serve and love one another.

Thanks for this very beautiful and touching video, Sr. Colleen. When we experience God’s love for real, we cannot but share it with others. Take care.

I felt like I had discovered a small miracle this morning when I clicked on notes and found yours about this movie.
Being new to using how to use Facebook it is a wonderful way to find a note and I feel inspired by the love of God today.
Thank you.
