Treat others very well.

Jesus's profound lesson today runs throughout the ages. Always treating others as you would like them to treat you is indeed the meaning of the Law and the Prophets; it is a principle of peace and harmony in society; it is our guidance in our interactions and relationships. Jesus encourages us to approach others with compassion, empathy, and kindness as Abraham treated Lot in the First Reading. Rather than asserting his own desires or asserting his right to choose first, Abram selflessly offered Lot the first choice of land. That is a very good example of the golden rule. Be good.

Lord help us become instruments of divine love, working everyday at transforming the world around us.

Sacred heart of Jesus, May your kingdom come!
