[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.” John 13:34-35. When I was growing up there was a great emphasis on giving up something for Lent – getting rid of some habit which has no spiritual benefit for ones life. This was to be seen as making a sacrifice or bearing a cross during the season of Lent. I have come to believe that, in Lent, it is more important to give something to God, to others and that something is love! Each day let us plan to show caring love for someone during the season of Lent.
