Learning from the humanity of Christ

 

Everyone wants to be a better person. But what do we mean by this? Who is the standard, the model? It is obviously Christ himself, perfect man as well as perfect God.  In this meditation we use texts from Scripture to consider the humanity of Christ and some of the many virtues we can learn by contemplating it, among them:

  • Love for God and neighbour
  • Spirit of service
  • Kindness and compassion
  • Forgiveness
  • Humility
  • Fortitude
  • Chastity
  • Joy

Meditation “As I have loved you”

Christ gave us a new commandment to love one another as he has loved us. It is not always easy to do this but it is very important to try, so that we spread the love of Christ in the world. In this meditation we consider various ways we can do this:

  • Spirit of service
  • Sacrifice
  • Compassion
  • Affection
  • Love for our “enemies”
  • Forgiveness
