Reflection
It’s easy to love at a distance, but not so easy to love at close quarters. It’s easier to give a few pounds to relieve famine in Africa than to relive the loneliness of someone living next door. It’s easy to love people who are far away, but not always easy to love those who are close at hand. Yet, these are the people Christ asks us to love. We must begin by loving the people near us. That is where our love must start. But, of course, it doesn’t have to end there. And it shouldn’t.
