“Come and see”
Nathanael encountered Jesus through a mediator, Philip. Philip had a deep life-transforming encounter with Jesus that he wanted to share the Good News with his friend. He went searching for Nathanael and told him, “Come and see.” Because of Philip’s “Come and see”, Nathanael became Jesus’ apostle.

“Love is the greatest commandment”
Love is the heart of our Christian faith. Our love for God can never be separated from our love for our brothers and sisters. This is because we cannot love God without the desire to love Him who also dwells in our brothers and sisters. Thus, it is in our simple self-giving acts of love for others that we show the depth of our love for God.
