Jesus calls us to make the world a loving place. This is a daunting task for any individual to face. We need to tackle this challenge in community, as a community. There are many opportunities to engage in acts of love everyday. At the same time, we need to work creatively together to challenge and change the systemic barriers to love within our society. Some will bind the wounds of travelers in the road, others will change the roads themselves.
