Kinnickinnic Avenue, St Francis Cycles of Faith III 5th Sun day of Easter Gregory Carter & Oceana Molla "I give you a new commandment: love one another." With these words, Jesus sums up the 1a; 2c; 3a; 4d; 5d 5d 4d; 3a; 2c; 1a; law and the prophets in one concise phrase. Love one another. After 2,000 years, you'd Answers: think we'd have it figured out by now! But all too often we fail in this commandment. Perhaps we mistake "love" for mere "common decency." Perhaps we've been betrayed, or our own visions of love have been tarnished or misrepresented in our lives. Blessedly, Jesus doesn't leave us without a guide. "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." Jesus himself modeled what this love should look like. So what are some of the characteristics of the love of Christ? Humility, for one. St. Paul writes that Jesus "emptied Himself." In becoming man, Jesus puts aside the full splendor of the Godhead. Not only does he become human, but he takes on many of the mundane privations of human life. He spent most of his life in relative poverty - especially by our standards - as a common laborer.
