The Book of Sirach Ch 31 v- 15

15 Recognize that your neighbor feels as you do, and keep in mind everything you dislike.

Being surrendered to Salvation's call in Christ Jesus helps us to recognize that our neighbor should be loved as ourselves because we ultimately understand that we are all flawed and in need of grace and forgiveness. By accepting Jesus into our hearts, we are reminded of our own faults and shortcomings, and we are called to extend the same compassion and mercy to others.

When we truly grasp the depth of God's love for us, we are able to see our neighbor in a new light. We understand that they are also beloved children of God, worthy of love and respect. Even when we disagree with their actions or beliefs, we are called to treat them with kindness and understanding, just as we would want to be treated.

In essence, being surrendered to Salvation's call in Christ Jesus helps us to see beyond our differences and recognize the humanity and dignity in every person. We are all on a journey of faith and growth, and by loving our neighbor as ourselves, we can create a more compassionate and understanding community and world at large. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Neighbor Feels as You**

Your neighbor feels as you do,

In this world that's often askew.

They share your joys and sorrows too,

And understand your regret the things you rue.

They see the flaws that you despise,

And hear the same deceitful lies.

Together, you both empathize,

With hearts that ache and tears that rise.

So remember, as you go about your day,

That your neighbor feels in the same way.

And let compassion guide what you do and say,

As you navigate this world each day to pray. Amen.
