E. Generalization
- Love/Charity is the most important among the three virtues we direct to God
- Jesus sends the Holy Spirit whom we receive in Baptism to help us love one another. It
is the Holy Spirit who inspires us to act as a loving “neighbor” to others, just like the
Good Samaritan.
- Acting as a true and good neighbor means to love and be kind to those whom we consider
our enemies and those whom we dislike.Jesus, through the Sacrament of Reconciliation,
helps us to throw away the heavy stones, our sins and heals us. The Sanctifying Grace
that we lost because of our big sins is restored to us.
 F. Application

you going to give up your life? Tell Jesus in a form of prayer.
