3. SERVING OTHERS
To respond to human need by loving service.
Matthew 25:35-36
... for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.
John 13:34-35
Jesus said:
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’

Prayers for reflection
Use these hands to carry the burden.
Use this voice to carry your word.
Use these feet to walk in your footsteps.
Use this heart to transform the world.
Christ has no body now on earth but ours,
No hands but ours,
No feet but ours.
Ours are the eyes through which is to look out
Christ’s compassion on the world.
Ours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Ours are the hands with which he is to bless people now.
Let my eyes
be your eyes,
sharing compassion,
warmth and love.
Let my hands
be your hands,
bringing healing
with their touch.
Let my ears
be your ears,
listening where
there is need.
Let my words
be your words,
bringing comfort
joy and peace .
