John 19:25-27 "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,' and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home."
Each day is a gift from God, an opportunity to do or give to someone else. No one is too old, too poor, too ill to offer acts of love and kindness.
Jesus nailed to the cross, about to die, thought of Mary, his mother and John his friend. Even in His last moments he found ways to give to others. We need to practice selfless giving in all that we do.
Jesus has told us that our new covenant with God, is to love others as he has loved us.
