"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you,
so you must love one another." ~ John 13:24
Read the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Today is Human Rights Day, an annual observance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN on this date in 1948.
As children of a loving and merciful God, we are called to love and care for one another every day, not just once a year.
Let us make a commitment, today, to lead others to Christ by the example of our respect for, love of, and service to, others. Regardless of their complexion, or names, or dogma we must show others how it is that we are to love each other.
We can start by respecting the unassailable right to a dignified life of all people, who are our sisters and brothers.
If not you and me, then who?
[Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations: video message for Human Rights Day - December 10, 2014]
