Sign up for Adoration during dead days

Jesus sums up the entire law by challenging his disciples to love one another. He reminds them that he has already demonstrated how they are to love one another as he has loved them. How have you experienced the love of Christ in your own life? How would others know you are a follower of Jesus Christ?
