Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, we learn in the gospel (Luke 6:27-31) that we must do all in our power to rid our minds of hatred.

“Jesus said to his disciples: To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic. Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back. (Luke 6:27-31)”

Among the Jews at the time of Christ and for centuries before (Exodus 21:23-25), “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, life for life” was the dominant practice.

But Christ set up the golden rule of fraternal charity in place of this Law of Talon.

Every man should genuinely love his neighbor, for he is his brother. Our interest in our neighbor must be spiritual.

If a neighbor offends us, he offends God. Our charity should help him seek God’s forgiveness and to help them to reach heaven.

Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
St. Peter, Pray for Us!
