“Imitate me, as I imitate Christ.”

* Pope Francis is telling us 3 kinds of love
1. Love the sinner
2. Love the poor
3. Love the earth

Mark 2:17 “On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.   I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

* Christ is compassionate with sinners except self righteous leaders
* Catholics love sinners – they compassionate with sinners

* I’m everything I am because you love me

Speaker: Bro George Gabriel

James 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
            to look after orphans and widows in their distress
            and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

ACTS (Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication)
–> Connotes action

* Love God and love of neighbor

* Contrition – Repair the effects of social sin
– Do your part to undo the effects

* Thanksgiving -> a grateful heart is also a giving heart

* How can you be an answer someone else’s prayer?
