#LoveForEnemies #Holiness #Forgiveness #GodsGreatestCommandments #MercyAndComapssion #PrayForYourEnemies TOPIC: TOPIC: CAN YOU FORGIVE AND LET GOD BE THE ONE TO CORRECT AN INJUSTICE? First Reading: Colossians 3:12-17 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 150:1B-2, 3-4, 5-6 Alleluia: 1 John 4:12 Gospel: Luke 6:27-38 In today’s first reading, Paul tells his community to forgive each other as soon as a fight begins. “Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive” (Colossians 3:13). In today’s gospel reading, Jesus has a more compelling message: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you” (Luke 6:27-38). We do not have this natural instinct to forgive, especially if we have been on the receiving end of an injustice. This is the 520th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
