1. LECTIO DIVINE GOSPEL TODAY Mt 5, 43, 48
Gospel text (Mt 5.43 to 48): At that time, Je-sus
told his disciples: "You have heard that it was
said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
But I say: Love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you, that you may be sons of your
ce-lestial Father, for he makes his sun rise on the
evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and
unjust. For if you love those who love you, what
reward do you have? They do not do that even
the tax? And if you salute your brethren only,
what do you do in particular? Do not even the
Gentiles the same? You therefore perfect as your
2. Father is perfect ce-lestial ".
Meditation Gospel
"Be perfect as your Father is perfect
3. heavenly
Today, Christ calls us to love. Love without
measure, which is the measure of true love. God
is Love, "has-ce his sun rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on jus-tos and unjust" (Mt
5:45). And man, spark of God, he has to fight to
resemble Him every day, "so that you may be
children of your heavenly Father" (Mt 5.45). Don?
De find the face of Christ? In the other, in the
4. nearest neighbor. It is easy to sympathize with
starving children in Ethiopia when we see them
on TV, or of the immigrants who arrive each day
at our beaches. But what about the house? And
our co-workers? And that distant relative who is
alone and that we could go to make a bit of
company? The other, how we treat them? How do
we love? What specific acts of service have with
them every day?
Reflection
5. It is very easy to love those who love us. But the
Lord invites us to go further, because "if you love
those who love you, what reward do you have?"
(Mt 5,46). Loving our enemies! Love those who
know, with certainty that we never shall devolve-
or affection, or smile, or that favor. Single-mind
because we ignored. Christian, any Christian, can
not love of "interested" way; It is not to give a
piece of bread, a handout to the traffic light.
6. Commitment
The best model of commitment to Jesus, is his
most holy mother, concerned about the needs of
others, she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth,
worried about her age.
At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, he realizes that
the guests have no wine. And we advance. And he
asks the Lord to make the miracle. Let us now
discover the miracle of knowing the needs of
others.
Prayer
We pray Heavenly Father, in the name of your
son Jesus, increase our faith, a stunted faith no
fruit, and you want all your children give fruits of
7. life ether-na, following the example of your child,
in the Holy Spirit, who You will ignite in us the
fire of your love.
