 Gospel Mt 5:43-48



Reflections

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Love is the greatest commandment that Jesus left to us. To love our enemies does not mean we must become best friends with them, it means that we must work toward having a true affection of care, concern, understanding, and forgiveness towards them and pray for these people. The love we have from God will cure all evils in this world. When we fail to love, we hate. When we love we eliminate hate and goodness flourishes among us. It is a way of letting God reform our emotions and feelings so that we will no longer have to hold on to feelings of anger or even hate. 

Activity :

When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.   Reflection:  In today’s gospel we find J...
