Whomever loves gives life to his brothers. The first to give this test of love to all of us was Jesus. This attitude of giving life that Jesus asks of us, is realized in the day to day, through small gestures, by putting us in serve to our brothers

The great initiative in this example that Jesus gives to us in the Last Supper in which he washes the feet of the disciples “What I did for you, also you must do.”

Serving signifies becoming “Eucharist” for the others, sharing your joys, dreams, pains and sadness. It is putting into practice the Word of Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those that rejoice; cry with those that cry.”

Giving life for the other is seeking to do for all what I would like is done to me. Thus, we will be realizing the Gospel of Jesus in our life.

God bless you!
