As a Christian I believe, as many others do, that we have been called to love one another. To me, this is not just a platitude, yet it can sound hollow and practiced. What then is this calling? Who are we, with whom do we share these words and why? Words in themselves are not acceptable, inaction speaks loudly. So what are we to do?

This is not social media where at the push of a button one can virtually “love” another person. You should not be able to count your friends or followers. Loving one another is a lifetime commitment. To love is to care, to lift up others, to be ever available in times of crisis and times of tranquility. Everyday there are opportunities to hold open your heart as you would hold open a door. As to who is to blame in these recent times? We are if we continue to turn a blind eye and leave love to fend for itself.
