Welcome to our daily encounter with the Word of God! Today, we reflect on the readings from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 15:22-31) and the Gospel according to John (John 15:12-17). These passages invite us to embrace unity, fraternal love, and the true spirit of Christianity. First Reading (Acts 15:22-31): In this passage, the apostles and elders send a letter to the Gentile Christians, clarifying that salvation comes not through the Law of Moses but through faith in Jesus Christ. This message brings peace and encouragement to the believers, reminding them they are part of one community led by the Holy Spirit. This reading teaches us the importance of communion and clarity in faith. When we walk together with humility and openness, we strengthen the unity of Christ's body. Gospel (John 15:12-17): In this powerful Gospel passage, Jesus gives us the commandment of love: “Love one another as I have loved you.” He calls us friends, not servants, for He has shared with us everything He heard from the Father. It is a call to deep intimacy with Christ and to a love capable of laying down one's life for others. Jesus chose and appointed us to bear lasting fruit. This love transforms our relationships, our mission, and our identity as true disciples. Reflection and Call to Conversion Today's readings call us to unity and genuine love. The early Church faced challenges with peace and dialogue, and Jesus teaches us that to be His friend is to love fully and deeply. May today's Word inspire your heart! Share in the comments how you live this love and what it means to be a friend of Jesus. 📖 Today's Readings: First Reading: Acts 15:22-31 Gospel: John 15:12-17
