You must love your neighbour as yourself

Notes of meeting on 23 June 2015

Picture of a child wrapped in swaddling bands completely secure and safe like the baby Jesus but this child was rather a representation of us in this group. our Heavenly Mother fed us and nurtured us and kept us under her mantle.
Then the bands were taken off and the child could move freely flailing its arms and legs in the sheer joy of movement. As the child grew ands matured greater responsibility was laid on the child until eventually the child resembled somewhat her Son Jesus.
We are that child and are called to mirror and act like Jesus. No more petty jealousies or resentments. All of us must act and pray and love as Jesus did and does to this day. We start by opening our hearts to love and feel that love for each other. We may not feel that love straight away because we may have to forgive each other. Then we can show others as Jesus did how we love and act in accordance with the Fathers Most Holy Will, for this is the goal to do and act in the Fathers Most Holy Will as Jesus did.

Mary says: "Do as he says" (see John 2 v  5 -  His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.')

Romans 12 v 9 - 18
⁹ Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good.
¹⁰ In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself.
¹¹ In the service of the Lord, work not half heartedly but with conscientiousness and an eager spirit.
¹² Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly;
¹³ share with any of God's holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable.
¹⁴ Bless your persecutors; never curse them, bless them.
¹⁵ Rejoice with others when they rejoice, and be sad with those in sorrow.
¹⁶ Give the same consideration to all others alike. Pay no regard to social standing, but meet humble people on their own terms. Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom.
¹⁷ Never pay back evil with evil, but bear in mind the ideals that all regard with respect.
¹⁸ As much as possible, and to the utmost of your ability, be at peace with everyone.

Romans 13 v 8 -14
⁸ The only thing you should owe to anyone is love for one another, for to love the other person is to fulfil the law.
⁹ All these: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and all the other commandments that there are, are summed up in this single phrase: You must love your neighbour as yourself.
¹⁰ Love can cause no harm to your neighbour, and so love is the fulfilment of the Law.
¹¹ Besides, you know the time has come; the moment is here for you to stop sleeping and wake up, because by now our salvation is nearer than when we first began to believe.
¹² The night is nearly over, daylight is on the way; so let us throw off everything that belongs to the darkness and equip ourselves for the light.
¹³ Let us live decently, as in the light of day; with no orgies or drunkenness, no promiscuity or licentiousness, and no wrangling or jealousy.
¹⁴ Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled.
