Luke 22  —  UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

"Then, taking bread and giving thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying: 'This is My body to be given for you. Do this as a remembrance of Me.' " —22:19

In the midst of Judas' betrayal, Jesus gave us His body and blood in Holy Communion. In the midst of Peter's denials, Jesus suffered out of love for Peter. In the midst of our sinfulness, Jesus continues to love us unconditionally. "It is rare that anyone should lay down his life for a just man, barely possible that for a good man someone may have the courage to die. It is precisely in this that God proves His love for us; that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rm 5:7-8).
