2 Timothy 2:8-15; Ps. 25; Mark 12:28-34

Live Christ, live love

Paul reminds Timothy and us that through Baptism we have died with Christ and we will rise in him to live and reign with him forever. This life with and in Christ begins in this life whenever we pattern our lives on his.

Patterning our lives on Christ takes visible and tangible form whenever we love God and neighbour as we do ourselves. Our life with and in Christ is not lip service. Love shows itself in the way we treat others.
