Dear Friends,
I wrote this reflection on my journey back home after a month’s visit to the U.S.A.. The pain of separation that the disciples went through when Jesus left was likely paralleled by my own pain as I said “good-bye” to my new & old friends, comrades and CARITAS Family in the states.

Jesus sums up all Christian teachings in a couple of short, simple sentences: “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.”
His great love, concern and compassion compels Him to go even further and show His disciples the way of love through dying for us on the cross; the ultimate way of love. At the end of the day, when all the doctrine has been debated, when all the traditions have been lived out, when all the hymns have been sung and the liturgy celebrated, we are left with just one thing: love. It’s all about love in the final analysis, love is all that is important.

Since only one voice truly has our best interest at heart. There is always need to discern the true voice from the many distracting false voices. There is need to listen to Christ’s voice from the many competitive voices. But how do we pull that voice out from the noise? How do we cut through the thousands of distractions and focus on the one true voice of wisdom?
