Love for Each.","description":"We say a lot of things as the Church. Many of the things we say are important. The writer of I John reminds us, however, that \u201cwe should love not in word or speech, but in truth and action.\u201d (I John 3:18) When we speak words of welcome, forgiveness, faith they are truths that are meant for all. Love however, is a particularity; something we do to and for the person in front of us. As baptism proclaims love to a particular person, and the wine and bread are given \u201cfor you\u201d to individuals, love is enacted for each. A sign on the church that says, \u201call are welcome\u201d is meaningless to those seeking welcome because it does not address the \u201ceach.\u201d A theological statement that says the poor should be fed bears no weight until assistance is given to fill a hungry belly. Welcome is for all. Love is for each.
