Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart. (1 Peter 1:22 NKJV)
When we received baptism in the Most Holy Church, we have committed ourselves to obey the truth of God’s words. We share the truth with our brethren and do them in communion with God and with each other. We cannot love God if we hate our brother or sister in Christ. We do not hate our body. Instead, we love our body even if sometimes one part hurts the other. It happens that the tongue is bitten by the teeth. The tongue cannot continually hate nor avoid the teeth because of that. Instead, the teeth are forgiven not only by the tongue but by the whole body. The whole body suffers when even the smallest part of the body is hurt. The whole Church, including you and I, suffer when one of our brethren is hurt. Thus, it is imperative that we care for one another in the spirit of love. Christ loves the Church. He suffered and died for it. We should also suffer if we must be willing to die for it and for our brethren. Again, let us love one another and serve one another.
