my sisters my brothers let this acknowledge your status and so prepare ourselves to celebrate d the sacred mysteries everlasting but amen a reading from the st letter of st john us love one another because love is of god everyone who loves is be gotten by guide and knows guide whoever is without love does not know god for god is love in this way the love of god was revealed to us god sent his only begotten son into the world so that we might have life through him in this is love not that we have loved god but that he loved us and sent his son as expiation for our sins the word of the lord thanks be to god lord every nation on earth will adore you lord every nation on earth the door your oh god with your judgment and tao the king and with your justice the king's son he shall govern your people with justice and you are afflicted ones with judgment born every nation on earth will adore you the mountains shall yield peace for the people and the hills justice he shall defend the afflicted among the people save the children of the poor lord every n dory justice shall flower in his days and profound peace till the moon be no more may he rule from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth board every shepherd and he began to teach them anything by now it was already late in his disciples approached him and said this is a deserted place and it is already very late dismissed them so they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat he said to them in reply give them some food yourselves but they said to him we are to buy two hundred dollars days wages worth of food in give it to them to eat he asked them how many lows do you have go and see and when they found out they said five lows in two sesh so he gave orders to have him sit down in groups on the green grass the people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties taking the five lows in the two fish and looking up to heaven he said the blessing broke pillows and gave it to the his disciples to set before the people he also divided the two fish among them all they all ate and were satisfied and they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments of what was left of the fish those who ate the lows were five thousand men the we live that would come across as a little bit of a questionable statement that we disagree course god is love but our concept of love is very much involved in romance and romantic visions when we think of love we think of valentine's day and we think of engagements and weddings in all sorts of events that happen because of luck but that was not the mentality in the time of john was not the mentality and the time of jesus when they were talking about loving god's love for us and our love for god they were talking about something up in the mind or even in the heart but something that occurred with the way you live your lives where you treated other people the way god treated his people by sending his prophets and eventually his only son so when we hear these statements  about very beautifully written and pronounced in part of the bible that we call the letters of john we have to remind ourselves that he's not talking about something that we write cards about the something he's talking about something that is in fact what people do and what god has already done work is people so when the people listened to or read the letter of john what they were saying but  was saying to them was that god has acted in great ways for us god has sent over and over again people to guide us today and to bring us closer to him and that's god's love for us and vice versa we ourselves if we say that we love our brothers and sisters is again that's something appear in the header in part it's something that has to do with how we treat them and how we react to them so we live in a very different culture different world but the same way yet reality is there for us that if we take for sure or if we take something that is advice for ourselves and we take it then our love is not just something that we say with our mouth but the way we care for others the way we take care of others the way we take care of god in the god take it take care of us by this love yes because we pray to the board lord hear our prayer for american military personnel especially in afghanistan we pray to the board nor
