EYE FOR EYE AND TOOTH FOR TOOTH
MONDAY WEEK 11 IN ORDINARY TIME Universalis
Give to anyone who asks
Reading 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 How we prove that we are God's servants
As his fellow workers, we beg you once again not to neglect the grace of God that you have received. For he says: At the favourable time, I have listened to you; on the day of salvation I came to your help. Well, now is the favourable time; this is the day of salvation.
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You have learnt how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if a man takes you to law and would have your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give to anyone who asks, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away.’
Loving Father at the favorable time, you listened to us. On
the day of salvation, you came to our help. It is comforting to know that now is the favorable time, the
day of salvation. Lord Jesus Christ we are amazed at the depth of your
love for us, considering the shallowness of our love. May we obey your words
and bring them to perfection to everyone we meet.
Lord
Jesus I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. God’s
Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.
