Jesus was a good role model of His own teachings, and was especially good at demonstrating what He meant by “loving one another”. When Andrew was still a disciple of John the Baptist, he asked Jesus, “Lord, where do You live?”. Jesus answered “Come and see!”.

It was certainly not the house that Jesus wanted Andrew to see. It was the philosophy of living and the love found among Jesus and His disciples that He wanted Andrew to experience.

Jesus asked His disciples to go out preaching in pairs so that they may witness the spirit of “love for one another”.

St. Francis of Assissi went out preaching with several brothers. They simply walked around the city and then returned to the monastery. A brother asked St. Francis, “Aren't we going out to preach?” St. Francis answered “Sure! Didn’t you realize that many people were observing our behavior while we were walking around the city?”

Similarly, people nowadays do not follow Christ merely because of the profound contents of preaching and the advanced technological facilities. They are also attracted by the spirit of love and mutual support demonstrated within our communities.
