Ephesians 4:7-16; Psalm 122; Luke 13:1-9

A Community of Love

Today’s first reading reminds us of three great truths: each of us has been given our own share of grace by Christ; we have not all been given the same “share of grace” but have received different gifts; and so we need each other to build up the community that is the body of Christ. This sense of community, as Pope Francis reminds us, is built up out of little details of love, where members care for one another and create an open and evangelising environment and where the risen Lord is present.
