Agape - the greek word for love.
The Gospel this past Sunday was about Love. It is from John 15:9-17. "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends"
The act of love, not only for the people we know & love, like family or friends; but also for those random acts of kindness toward strangers.
Deacon John, during his homily, gave a few examples. I can't repeat them word-by-word. But here are two I remembered~~
If you see an elderly couple in a store, walking slowly, taking their time in front of the shelf -- be patient. It would be the last time they are able to shop together.
If you got cut off by another driver on freeway during commute -- be patient. The other guy just finished 10 hours of work & trying to rush home to make dinner & spend a few extra minutes with his kids.
