So be perfect.

“So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (MT 5: 48)

God’s vision for perfection is about loving others, not about perfectionism at your work or behavior or something else. Therefore, there is only one need—to love others without expecting any reward, love unconditionally, and be a free, creative, and joyful gift of self.

“I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
