Jesus commanded us to love God and to love our neighbour.
In 1 John 4 verse 20 we read, "For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
These pages give some idea of the ways we try to fulfil that command
Mother Teresa tells us how we can love God whom we have not seen:
“Where is God?
We believe He is everywhere---He is the creator, He is everything.
But where is He to my human eyes?
To make it possible for me to see the face of God with my human eyes, He has made Himself the hungry one, the naked one, the homeless one, the lonely one and He says: ‘Whatsoever you do to the least of My brethren you do it to Me.’ (The Joy in Loving)
