GOSPEL FOR SUNDAY

Father T. Fedorowicz once concluded this blessing: "Lucky are those who think before they do something and lucky are those who pray before they think. They will omit a lot of sadness and misunderstandings". How much sadness we experience because of words, harm and wanting to hurt back. We need a lot of good will and sense to live the way Jesus teaches us today. We need prayer to have inner strength so we do not respond wrong doing for wrong doing but to make good deeds win over the wrong. That is what Jesus did for all of us. He sacrificed good, His life, for our sins. He became source of love for us -" in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life " - says St. Peter (comp. 1Tm 1,16).

Therefore before you reply with your fist for attack, think of a better way so you do good. Before you slam the door in front of a person that needs a loan, think of a way to help him / her. Before you think, pray for Holly Spirit to shine over your good intensions and make your heart stronger. This is the way to happiness, reaching God and learning to love your enemy.

GOSPEL FOR SUNDAY 20th of February 2011 YEAR A: 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Mt 5, 38-48 You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow."You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.
