Build authentic relationships

‘Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me.’ ( Rev 3:20 ).

“It is enough that when we begin our day of work, or when we have to dedicate ourselves to something difficult (…), we tell Jesus with complete trust: ‘I want to meet you in those persons, in that situation. It is to you, to you alone, that I want to open the door of my heart!’ If we do this, that conversation or that task will take on a totally new dimension, a different ‘flavour’, that of an encounter with Jesus who, in secret, fills us with the sweetness and light of his presence. In fact, Jesus has revealed to us his own way, his ‘secret’ to help us live this Word of Life, which is that he is present in every person. Therefore, every neighbour we meet gives us the opportunity ‘to open the door’ to him and communicate with him.”

Be a sure support for the other

“We should act as true children of the heavenly Father, imitating his love, especially in the characteristics that we have highlighted, namely that it is freely given and reaches everyone. Then let us try to be the first to love, being generous, supportive, open to everyone, especially wherever there might be a void that needs to be filled with love. Let us love without expecting any results. Let us make the effort to become instruments of God’s generosity, sharing with others the gifts of nature and grace that we have received from him.”

Shorten the distance between saying and doing!

‘Through your patience you will gain possession of your souls.’ 1 (Lk 21:19)

“Doing things well is what counts in Christianity. Certainly, according to a proverb of human wisdom, ‘Well begun is half done’. This human wisdom is good, but it does not work for everyone. Instead, ‘The person who endures to the end will be saved’ 2 is divine wisdom. (…) This Word of Life helps us to remember that God is within us and that we should live with him. We do this directly when we pray or meditate on our own. We do it indirectly when we do the will of God that requires us to concentrate all our attention outside of ourselves, as when there is a neighbour to be loved or a job to be completed.”

Love with the whole of yourself

‘When you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, “We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done”!’ Lk 17:10)

“How then can we put this Word into practice? By loving in a genuine and selfless way; by loving without thinking that we have done all that we could and so have a right to a reward; by loving always, focusing only on God whom we love - God in himself and God in others; by loving him, not to be rewarded nor to gain paradise, but rather because we want to be similar to him who is Love.”

Look after your interior life

“Do we notice that a particular person or an activity has become an obstacle between God and ourselves, spoiling our relationship with him? This is the moment to tell him: ‘You, Lord, are my only good.’ It will help us to purify our intentions and regain our inner freedom. Living the Word of God purifies us and sets us free because the Word is love. The fire of divine love purifies our intentions and the whole of our inner self, because, according to the Bible, the ‘heart’ is the deepest seat of our intelligence and our will.”

Rejoice in the good of others

‘We had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.’(Lk 15:32)

“These words are a personal invitation that God offers to you and to all believers. He invites you to rejoice with him, to celebrate and to share in his joy at the return of a sinner who was lost and has been found again. In the parable, a father says these words to his elder son who had always been with his father, but who, after a hard day’s work, refuses to go into the house where his brother’s return is being celebrated.”
