The
Readings: Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:
We are all called to be saints. It is soooo difficult to love those who hurt us, to pray for our enemies. But that's the challenge of this Gospel.
And I have found that, when I examine the actions of my enemies, the behaviors that hurt me, I notice that I have the potential to act likewise toward others. This is behind the need to forgive and love our selves for we can be our own worst enemies.
If we choose the path of "on my way to perfect," we must accept God's awesome love for us and pass that commitment for the satisfaction, security, and development to all our brothers and sisters... especially our enemies, those who hurt us.
