About this episode

Fr. Ivan Pertine discusses the importance of living out Christian commands as expressions of love for Jesus.

This week, Fr. Ivan challenges us to live as Christians live when Jesus asks us to "Keep my commands," if we love Him. It's hard to summarize all of them, but he highlights the following: Pray. Intercede for others. Turn internal criticism into thanksgiving. Listen. Pay attention. Celebrate and appreciate the triumphs and gifts of others. Share. Be generous with your time and your things. Avoid asking "What's in it for me?" Forgive daily. Remember everyone's dignity. Never use others.
