God wants us to look out for one another, to forgive one another and be reconciled and at peace, echoing the call of God to one another that draws people away from what leads to death and on the path that leads to life. It is all an expression of love that is the ultimate fulfillment of all the commands of the Law, so that we can be in right relationship with one another as an expression of being in right relationship with God.
God came to us in Jesus Christ so that we could be brought back into right relationship with Him after we strayed. He draws us together in a community that now lives forgiveness together, as Father Bob talked about so insightfully in his homily. And as we come together to act this way in His Name, we make God's presence known, just as Jesus said He would be present with us.
