Luke 6:27-38
Reflect the mercy of God
In today's Gospel, we are asked not to live according to the human instinct, but according to the love and mercy of God. The love of the enemy and the command to forgive is a true participation in the divine life. We, too, as Christ'sdisciple, are the embodiment of divine love. Through us, people are to experience God's presence, love, and mercy and not retaliation and vengeance. The measure we use should be the measure of mercy, "A good measure, pressed down, check together."Jesus himself told St. Faustina "The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to my mercy." So, when we love without counting, forgive without limit, and when we give without fear, we truly become children of our merciful Father. Be a vessel of God's mercy!
Lord, Jesus, teach me to love as you and me help to forgive without limit.
Jesus, I trust in you
