Love for my neighbour

A few months ago (it seems ages!) the NZ Bishops told us that we were excused from attending Mass on Sunday. It was not safe to gather as a group of people. It was a good example of circumstances overtaking a law, care for others becoming paramount. Sometimes, too, convenience or habit becomes ‘my law’, governing my way of acting. Remember, our love and care for one another is number one! To whom can I talk today, or listen to, by stepping outside my usual routine?
