GUARDA MIS MANDAMIENTOS Si guardar los mandamientos de Jesús es la clave para amarlo, ser amado por el Padre y acompañado por el Espíritu, entonces ¿qué elección tenemos para guardar sus mandamientos? Parece simple, pero a diferencia de los mandamientos con que Moisés bajó de la montaña, Jesús no nos dejó con diez normas de conducta que guíen nuestras acciones. Jesús nos dejó con un mandamiento mucho más complicado, amar a nuestros enemigos como a nosotros mismos. Este mandamiento requiere que nosotros primero nos amemos como Jesús nos amó. Nosotros debemos ver en nosotros mismos lo que Jesús vio en cada uno de nosotros. Jesús vio que también nosotros estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios y que llevamos con nosotros la fragilidad de nuestra hu-manidad. Nosotros debemos ver la misma devoción y humanidad en cada persona que encontramos en nuestro camino. No es solo que nosotros mismos veamos en el rostro de nuestra familia, amigos, conocidos y extraños. Es el rostro de Dios. Debemos comportarnos a la altura.

KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS If keeping Jesus' commandments is the key to lov-ing him, belov-ing loved by the Father, and accompa-nied by the Spirit, then what choice do we have but to keep his commandments? It seems simple, but unlike the commandments carried down the mountain by Moses, Jesus did not leave us with ten statements of conduct to guide our actions. Je-sus left us with a much more complicated com-mandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves. This commandment requires that we first love ourselves as Jesus loved us. We must see in ourselves what Jesus saw in each one of us. Jesus saw that we too are made in the image and likeness of God and that we carry with us the fragility of our humanity. We must see that same Godliness and humanity in eve-ry person we encounter. It is not just ourselves we see in the face of our family, friends, acquaintanc-es, and strangers. It is the face of God. We should act accordingly.
