Sunday Reflection (February 20, 2022)

As a way of life, the Christian life brings peace and non-violence to strife and violence (Luke 6:27-38).. It is a way of life that seeks to break the cycle of violence. This is not easy, but God’s mercy is great toward us! How great is our mercy toward others?

I do admit that loving enemies and extending mercy cannot be commanded in the sense of telling someone what to do. If we do not love our enemies or extend mercy, we should ask ourselves why, and then ask the Holy Spirit to lead us to extend mercy and love even to our enemies, or perhaps better: Those who deem us enemies.
