JUNE 17, 2013: 11TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME 1st Reading: 2 Cor 6:1-10 Responsorial Psalm: Psa 98:1-4 “The Lord has made known his salvation.” GOSPEL: MATT 5:38-42 Key Verse: “do not resist an evil person.” (v.39) Dear Friends in Christ, People respond to life situations in different ways and how we respond to difficult situations such as when others wrong us or hurt us will define our character and this is what makes a Christian stand out in the crowd. To be a Christian is to be different from everyone else because a Christian is someone who is filled with Grace in the way we treat others not because they deserve it but because this is the way God wants us to treat others – with loving kindness and mercy. When we are encountering difficulty in forgiving others, we only have to look at the cross of Jesus Christ and we will be freed of malice, hatred, revenge, and resentment and Christ Himself will give us the courage to return evil with good. It is this kind of love and grace which will give us the power to be healed of our hatred and bitterness that will eventually save us from our own destruction. … Kindly log onto: bld-reflect.weebly for the Reflection for Today.
