“FOR THE MEASURE WITH WHICH YOU MEASURE WILL IN RETURN BE MEASURED OUT TO YOU.” LK 6:27-38
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Prayer Prompt before reading LK 6:27-38: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
Today’s Gospel is taken from Luke’s Sermon on the Plain which is similar to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel. The section today’s Gospel is taken from is “Love of Enemies” and how to treat our neighbor. What speaks to my heart the most is that we are all sinners.
We fail to do the Father’s Will by judging, condemning, being selfish, labeling, and sinning. I often see this in myself as a father trying to teach my own children to be holy. It’s hard. I sometimes get on them about something when I don’t model it well myself. It doesn’t mean that I stop disciplining with tough love, but I try to be mindful of how I am living what I am teaching them myself.
God will be the final judge of our lives and it will be based on love not what we have accomplished. We are called to judge as fathers, mothers, teachers, judges, etc., but when we judge it must be based on God’s laws. The Light will reveal whatever is in the darkness. We can’t hide anything from God.
He is love and mercy with justice. He has compassion (suffers with) on us, but He taught us sin has serious consequences. His love and mercy are so great that He gave His only Son to die for us. God’s love is more powerful than anything in the world! This is why He is so radical to teach to even love our enemies. This is crazy talk! This is radical love! God’s love overcomes everything and He wants to share it with you.
We are called to recognize the love and mercy the Father has for us, so that we too can love and be merciful to others. Are you willing to lose your pride and think of others before yourself in all that you do today?
Today’s challenge: Try to live without judging today, what someone is wearing, how they look, how they talk, what they said, and if they say something that hurts or offends you, be ready to forgive. Love the unlovable in your world today. Give expecting nothing in return. It’s hard being a Christian! Only with God’s grace can we fulfill what Jesus wants us to do in today’s Gospel and become “perfect (holy) like the heavenly Father is perfect”.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
#Christian YOLO
I think Jesus is trying to tell us that if someone does something rude or mean to us then don’t retaliate. There will be consequences. And if we do these things we will always be a child of the Father.
I think Jesus is saying that no matter what people do to you they are still Gods creation and should be treated with the utmost respect no matter who they are. Loving your enemies is a radical belief but it is what we believe in and what we live by as Catholics.
We usually spend our time around others judging them. And then we choose people we don’t like and will be rude to. that is a horrible thing that we humans need to get out of. we need to learn to love
In today”s gospel it tells how “sinners give to sinners” even if they are enemies and that we should not condemn others for then we are condemning are selves in the Lord. Have a blessed day
“Love of Enemies”
This means to love our enemies, even if they don’t love you. We are taught to love like the Lord would love. We shouldn’t judge, condemn, be selfish, and label others. Instead we are called to spread the word of the Lord and be the followers of Jesus Christ, our one true Savior. So, go out, spread the word of the Lord, and love others the way Jesus would.
A thing that I got out of this was that we must be respectful to all people, in this world today, there are so many different things out there that are trying to make us think the opposite of Jesus, in the gospel it says,”If someone slaps you on the cheek, turn the other.” This is exactly what we should do, we should respect each other, and other people’s opinions, yet many people will not do the same, people do not like the bible or people that are associated to a religion, but we have to be able to love the people that do not love us back, even if they are mean to us, and even if they want to kill us. The whole person that we follow for this religion, died a horrific death, why should we excpect anything different.
We are sinners, but God is perfect. He shows compassion, mercy, and love. That’s why we need to follow God’s example. He shows us the way to heaven, and how to be like him. He loves us with his whole heart, so shouldn’t we love him with ours too? jesus, in the sermon on the plains, tells people that they need to love everyone, regardless of who they are. He asks us to follow his example, so that we might be able to get to heaven, and to help others get there too. He also says to love your enemies. This doesn’t mean we have to be best friends, but he asks us to see them the way he sees them. He asks us not to hold a grudge, or to continue to hate them. SO follow Jesus! He is perfect, so let us try to model him.
I think that God is trying to tell me that I need to not try and be someone I am not, because no matter what He loves me just as much as He does everyone else in the world, as it says in the scripture,” His Love is RADICAL” he loves me for who I am not who I think I need to be. He will always forgive us and he will always love us with all he has, he gave us his only son and He gave up His only Son, Jesus died for us, what more could someone do than suffer on the cross like Jesus did.
People always say be a reflection of Christ. I think that is what the gospel is talking about today. People are so caught up in them selves and don’t think of others. When you are a reflection of Christ you love those who have done wrong to you and you forgive them. You don’t hold a grudge and you forgive just as Jesus forgives you when you sin.
Today I think that Jesus is trying to tell us that God will always be there for us and to love your enemies and be treated how you want to be treated.
In today’s gospel God is talking about how you should turn your left cheek after someone has hit you in the face already. After this he says even sinners love the people that love them. This relates to us in the fact that if we only like the people that also like us how are we going to meet new people and try to bring them closer to God. God says that we should lend everything expecting nothing in return. This really sticks out to me because if you have ever done a charity to help people and you see them smiling it makes you so internally happy. This statement is what gets us to heaven because the more we give and the less we receive the more other people have to live. Even helping sinners gets us closer to heaven because sinners are still people and they deserve help to try to get to heaven.
What I think Today’s Gospel is about is really the golden rule, “Treat others how you want to be treated”. We need to follow this rule because like the Gospel says “Do to others as you would have them do to you”. This is basically saying that if we want to be treated with respect we must treat others with respect.
In this Gospel it talks about how to be good to your enemies which to me is saying to be the better person. In the Gospel it talks about If you lend money and expect repayment what good is that credit is that too you because you are really not doing anything good if you are just getting back what you just gave them. It even says sinners lend to sinners and still get back the same amount. Instead Jesus says to do good and not expect anything back in return and then we will be in the Children of most High.
“God’s love is more powerful than anything in the world!” Today I think God is trying to tell me that as long as He loves you then everything will be okay. Even when its our hardest time in life God will still loves us for being alive and being His child. Life can get hard but don’t let that stop you from not loving God, after all He did forgive Adam and Eve and loves them very much. They did something very wrong, but God still loved them with all of His heart. So even when someone is mean to you, you should keep on loving them, you don’t know what they are going through so don’t judge and instead love them.
In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us to love our enemies and be merciful, giving, and to only expect God’s love to come from our good deeds. Jesus tells us to do unto others as we would have them do to us. Jesus also says “For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.” Whatever we give to people on here on earth will be rewarded greatly in heaven. Jesus loves all of us!
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you”
On judging day God will not look at what we have, like money, clothes, and popularity. God will look at our kindness to others and how we lived to be like Him. “If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?” If you expect something for what you are doing then what’s the point? If you only do kind things to say you did somthing good then is it really that good.
Today’s Gospel what stuck out to me is “Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.” I think this means That God Is trying to tell us
What we do to other people will happen unto yourself.
“Even sinners love those who love them” this is the phrase that I felt God calling me to. It means more than just love one another it means to treat each other more like brothers and sisters in Christ not as a sinner that should be judged.
“We fail to do the Father’s Will by judging, condemning, being selfish, labeling, and sinning.” we can do better and not be selfish to pople. gust becuse they are maen or selfish does not mean you should. you should gust be kind for ever one even when they are mean to you. and to pray to are lord every day and get closer with him. and be kind to ever one.
“But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you”this is the most important part in life. We should always love our enemies, even though its gonna be hard Jesus did it and never complained. When someone persecutes us we should never hit them back we should simply say nothing because as it says “Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.” no matter what they take we can’t get it back because that would be a sign that i don’t care about you i only care about myself. We should never judge our gossip behind people, when someone judges someone we get so mad and that’s where the attack goes. Judging is saying that i am better than you in every way like you are perfect. Well your not no one will ever be perfect in no matter what they do. Gossip is a way to tell a lie about someone and we should never hurt them like that. we should be open to another and love everyone when we don’t want to, we should never judge to say I am better than you, and you should never gossip because that’s a way to ruin a friendship and you aren’t showing love to them. instead say to yourself “what would Jesus do.”
Love of Enemies is something that stuck out to me because it means God is telling us to love our enemies as we do our self
God has called us to love others with our heart. What stood out to me, we have to love our enemies to forgive is to love. If we go without judging others by what they wear, look like, sound like. Judge with love and discipline from the love of our heart. Jesus loved us so much he died for us.
We should love everybody as ourselves and maybe even more than we love ourselves.
Jesus is trying to tell me that I should not juge someboby by there actions the do because that might just be having a bad day so always be kind to one other.
In today”s gospel it tells us how “sinners give to sinners” even if they are enemies and that we should not condemn others for then we are condemning ourselves in the Lord.
I think Jesus is trying to tell us that even if somone wrongs us we should still be kind and try to undestand why they do that instaed of just getting mad and wronging them right back because there are better ways to solve that issue.
Jesus is saying that you should love everyone, even those who hurt you and take from you. He also says if someone strikes your cheek, offer them the other.
I think Jesus is trying to tell us that if you love your enemy and you are nice to them but they are bullying you then they could change unless they kick/punch you then you need to defend yourself and not love them
I think Jesus is trying to tell me that we should love everyone, but he specifically mentions to love your enemies. He does this because he knows that it is easy to love someone who loves you, so he puts emphasis on loving people who are harder to love
I think that it is trying to tell me to love even if someone punches me still love them!
God tells us not to hate our enemies but love them.He says this in the ten commandments to not judge you’re neighbor.
What stuck out to me is when he said “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” I think that its telling us to treat others how you want to be treated in life so you should always be kind.
You should love your enemies because they are Jesus and by loving you enemies your are loving Jesus. You have to treat others like you would want to be treating which is hopefully with respect. So if you love your enemies Jesus will be proud and others will hopefully treat you with respect but you have to earn it.
This reading is telling us to enterpreit the gospel or reading in a way that is right. And if you dont underdstand then you ask somenody else to help with it. Hes also saying even if youyr friedns are saying dont do it or its emberassing dont let there opinions stop you from worship
One thing that stuck out to me is that you have to love your enemies even though you don’t want to. You have to realize that they are a person to and that whether they go to heaven or not you might see each other again some day. And we are all made in God’s image so you have to have that self control and peace in the Lord to love everybody.
In today’s gospel what I think it means by ” God will be the final judge of our live and it is based on love not what we have accomplish” what it means by that in means like love other how God would and love your neighbors how you love yourself and to love your enemies sometimes when you don’t want to.
What im getting out of this is that whenever some one hits us or makes fun of us and we hit them back or make fun of them back were as bad as they are and instead we should let God do the rest.
I think Jesus is trying to teach us that if you want to hurt someone don’t hurt them but just know that if you do then you will get hurt right back. If you want to judge people don’t do it but if you do people are gonna judge you and I don’t think you want that. So don’t do things to people that you don’t want done unto you.
What stood out to me is “We can’t hide from God”. It stood out to me because even though God sees the bad side of us, he still loves us with his entire soul because he understands that we are sinners but we are also still his children.
I am sure this is calling me to not judge others. We cant, because we are all the same. Sinners. We should treat others the way we should treat ourselves. The best. And plus, at the end of our lives, we will be judged by God. Lets let go of our pride and for today not judge others.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
I think this Jesus is telling me to treat everyone the way that I want to be treated. Even if we don’t like some people, you treat them with kindness.
“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.”
I think what God is trying to tell us is that no matter what anyone does treat them with respect no matter who it is even your biggest enemies
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.” What that means to me is that we need to not judge others so you won’t be judged. We also need to love all our enemies even if they don’t like you back we still need to care for everyone.
I think this scripture is telling me about how your not better than everyone else and in Jesus’s eyes he’s the only one who should matter. I also think its telling us to love our enemies and also to not judge someone because your not perfect so you cant expect everyone else to be.
Whenever you started talking about your difficulties with your children made me think that I should be kinder to my siblings, and try to control my anger more. Most of the time I am always angry with my brothers because the like to get in my nerves on purpose, so I feel like this made me think that I should just try not to show that it bothers me, and to see if then they will stop.
God is telling us that even if we hate someone, we should always be kind and respectful to them. Just because they did something that you didn’t like gives you no right to hurt them. We should love our enemies and see them as a child of Christ.
“God will be the final judge of our lives and it will be based on love not what we have accomplished.” I think Jesus is telling me not to worry about what others think because at the end he is the only one that matters.
I think that this topic is a pretty good one. When Jesus says that a person struck you on your left cheek then turn to the other.I think like if someone hurts you don’t get angry and fight back. Just forgive them.
I think today’s Gospel is saying to not judge your neighbors or yourself. The Gospel also said, Jesus said to his disciples:
“To you who hear I say, love your enemies. You have to learn to love your enemies like you love yourself.
I think it’s trying to tell us that if someone is mean to you then you should not do it back because it doesn’t make it right.
I think Jesus is trying to tell me that no matter what people do you have to ignore them because you cannot control people, only yourself.
What God is trying to say to us is that if we are judging people or being really rude to them there will be consequences. So if someone is your enimie then try to be nice to them.
Im glad this gospel has come up because it probally means im judging people and God is trying to tell me. So make sure to include people into your friend group, or even to play at recess, make sure to love your neighbor as yourself. # Golden Rule.
God bless
I believe Jesus us telling us that we should all treat each other with the same respect, because God created us all equal. And we are all sinners who have fallen short of the Glory of God, so who is someone to judge as if they haven’t sinned before? “Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.”
I think today Jesus is telling us to love others even if they are your worst enemy, because if we can imitate God in this way we have a higher chance to go to heaven.
I think what God is trying to tell me is even if someone doesn’t like you or isn’t your friend be kind to them and you will be rewarded forgive them and God will forgive you.
“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.”
I think that this means that we should love our enemies, and try to have faith in them. some people are going through hard times that we do not notice, or know about.
God wants us not to be greedy but be kind
We must be mindful of how we are living our lives. We must not only be nice to those around us like our neighbors and our friends but our enemies also. If we want to follow Christ you must first see Christ in everyone.
A thing that I got out of this was that we must be respectful to all people, in this world today.We never know what anyone is actually going through in their life. He asks us not to hold a grudge, or to continue to hate them. SO follow Jesus! He is perfect, so let us try to model him.Even if we don´t get along with them we still need to be nice and understanding.
What i got from todays gospel is tha peple are so caught up in them selves and that we just need to all lets loose abnd love God. If we get to caughted up in our selves then we wont make the right choices in our life then we wont go to heaven
“To you who hear I say, love your enemies.” In today’s Gospel, God told me to love my enemies, even when they hurt us. If you try to get revenge, it will just be like bullying your bully, and that’s not right. It is tempting, but if we are good to those who hurt us, then we will receive good things and they will recieve karma.
God is trying to tell us the Love of Enemies and how to treat our neighbor.It doesn’t mean that I have to stop disciplining with tough love, you have to try to be mindful of how you are living and what I’m teaching them myself. Always treat them as you wanted to be treated.
I think what I learned from this is we need to treat everyone equal this is one of hardest things to do though because we all try to be mean for no reason when we need to be nice.
“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. Do to others as you would have them do to you.” I think this means that we need to still be kind and respectful to those who hurt us even though it may be hard.
What I received from this reflection was that what we accomplish in this life will mean nothing in the next life. If we have the newest pair of shoes or the best clothes, that won’t matter in Heaven. Any amount of followers or subscribers you have has no determination for getting to Heaven. All you need is to pray and be loyal and faithful to the Lord and you will be granted Heaven and Eternal life with God.
Love your enemies. Don’t fight your enemies. Treat others how you want to be treated.
The scripture is telling us that we should treat people good. Even if someone isn’t our friend we should still treat them kindly.
In today’s Gospel, God told the Disciples that they should love our enemies. We should do that because EVERYONE is made by God’s image and that means that if we hate our enemies, we don’t like God. Instead of hating our enemies, we should respect them and maybe get along with them. “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.”. I like this saying because we need to love everyone so that we can go to Heaven.
God is trying to tell us to Love your Enemies and to treat our neighbor.It doesn’t mean that you have to stop disciplining with tough love. You have to try to be mindful of how you are living and what you are teaching them yourself. You can try to Love everyone in the whole world like Jesus.
“The section today’s Gospel is taken from is “Love of Enemies” and how to treat our neighbor” The Love of enemies really stuck out to me because no matter what we should always love everything and everyone because we are all made in Gods likeness and image, and if we cant get over hating someone then we are no better then them at all. God would love us no matter what and he does. every time we sin do you think God starts to love us less? No! he never does and he never will. so be like Christ and spread love and joy.
What stuck out to me was that Jesus tells us not to retaliate. Retaliating means to use force to try to equalize the damage done upon you. As I was saying, Jesus tells us to not fight back but to even help them with their evilness. “from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.”
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells us that we should be kind to our neighbors. If we are kind to them, they will be kind back because they would have no reason to not be. If we are kind on earth, our reward in heaven will be great. That is what I took from today’s gospel.
Jesus is telling us to love all. He is reminding us that even though someone may do wrong to us we still need to remember that they are also his children. When others do wrong to us doing wrong back just continues and perpetuates the sin, but being the bigger person and ending it with you will not only be better on your soul but theirs as well.
“For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” I think God is telling us this gospel that we receive what we give away and our actions have consequences, every time we chose to do anything, God remembers. Stuff we do comes back to us later.
The gospel is telling us to love others even tho we do not like them. We should forgive people who have hurt us. Jesus forgave the people who wanted him dead. Jesus loved everyone even if they sin. We should start loving more and not hating more.
today’s gospel Jesus talks about loving our enemy and turning the other cheek. we all must strive to do this. even though it is incredibly hard to love someone you hate you must for the salvation of the lord is with you.
god is saying love your neighbor like yourself this is really important cause god has a plan for us and he loves us and all he wants us to do is follow him and love him and everyone around you
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”
On judgment day Jesus will not judge on popularity, money, clothes or any of those worldly things. You will be judged on how you treated others and how you acted, not on how wealthy you are. I think Jesus is trying to tell me that the only things that matter when it comes to judgment day is how you treated others and how you tried to be the best version of yourself.
To me this gospel is telling us how to be kind. That even the people who aren’t kind to us need we need to treat them as we want to be treated. If we follow the way God wants us to, we will surely make it to heaven.
He has compassion (suffers with) on us, but He taught us sin has serious consequences. An excuse I use to use is Jesus didn’t have to go through what I’m going through.He is though and He was. When He got hung on the cross and the amount of times they hit Him. He probably had multiple broken bones. He also didn’t just suffer physically but also mentally.
This Gospel talks about loving our enemies. Even though they may have hurt us, deep within we are still called to become missionaries and love them. It’s the only way for God to judge us and give us the choice of whether or not we get into Heaven.
This made me realize that we should love your neighbor as yourself. He died for our sins and shows us so much love and mercy to this day. We need to come together and stop judging others even if you don’t know or do know the full story and start uplifting people.
It is saying we should treat our neighbors with respect. It is tough to love someone even though we hate them but we should always respect them and be kind to them.
He is love and mercy with justice. He has compassion (suffers with) on us, but He taught us sin has serious consequences. Sin can cause you to go further into the devils grasp. You should stay way from the devil.
“Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause my brother to sin.” In this phrase we are being told to help others stay away from sin. One way we can help others is by leading by example. If our friend sees us doing something that they later do, we would be the cause of the sin. If we stay away from the sin, our friend will follow us and also not commit the sin.
What I get from today´s scripture is that we need to realize God ´ s mercy and love for us so we can share it with others. When we recognize that we have a God who loves us we can spread it and help everyone know the good news and that God loves them too.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” I like these verses from the scripture today because I’ve always struggled with the fact that Jesus said that if we are good to others then they will be good back but that doesn’t always seem to apply and what I’ve taken from this gospel is that if you don’t judge or condemn those here on earth, if you forgive and give of yourself then you will be rewarded with heaven. On the day of your judgment he will see that you gave away yourself for the love of him and others and you will live in paradise with him, just like how he said “A good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will be in return measured out to you.”
We need to be kind, even when others aren’t. Jesus said that we need to turn the other cheek, because striking back does no good.
“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.” This part of the gospel stuck out to me because you should always love your enemies and teat them well, you should do good to those that hate you because you never know what someone is going through, bless those who cures you be kind to all, and pray for everyone.
What stuck out to me was “love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back.” This stuck out to me because when you do something good in the world you should not be expecting something in return. When you do something good and don’t get anything in return then you are doing stewardship. So everything you do don’t be expecting to get something in return.
This scripture is telling me to be kind to others and treat everyone nicely because Jesus wouldn’t want us to judge others. He wants us to respect everyone.
In today’s Gospel it talks about how we need to love our enemy. Even when people are rude, annoying or talk behind your back. You must love them and treat them like they are the son or daughter of God. You need to show kindness to everyone even when they make it hard. Jesus was still kind to the people who were beating him, spitting on him, calling him names he never once said something rude. We must be like Jesus and Be kind to everyone.
What stuck out to me is when they were talking about how we are NOT doing gods will by holding grudges against people and refusing to forgive. Sometimes forgiveness is hard but we have to remember that what’s right is not always easy. 🙂
I bet that almost all of us have judged someone else before they even knew who they were. A lot of times people can be mean or hurtful and God says that we should love our neighbor no matter what. That’s not easy. Forgiving someone else for their wrong doing is never easy, but God calls us to anyway.
“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.”
I think today’s scripture is about Jesus wanting us to love our neighbors how he loves us even when our enemies are being mean we should always be nice to each other.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.” This gospel is telling us about how we must do good to those who wrong us. It may be difficult, but if we forgive, stop judging, and stay away from condemning others, we will receive the same treatment and we give It is saying to treat other how we wish to be treated.
“Love your enemies” Most people do not follow this, Jesus loves us and we have done way worse to Him than others have done to us. He died for us because He loves us so much. If we want to get to heaven then we have to love everyone no matter what they do to us and if we like them or not. Do not do nice deeds to get nice deeds done to you. There is no point in doing one if that’s what you expect.
What I got out of this Gospel is to treat others how you want to be treated. Even if your someone you don’t steals something from you or even says something bad about you behind your back that rule does not change. Just because someone did something to you it doesn’t change that so treat others how you want to be treated no matter what
Today the Gospel talks about loving your enemies. it’s easy for us to love our friends and loved ones, but what about our enemies? God loves even the worst sinners. How would we feel if he just gave up on us like we do to other people? Instead, we should view the people we don’t get along with as fellow children of God, because He loves them just like He loves us. The Gospel also kind of explains the Golden Rule. If the way you treat someone isn’t the way you would like to be treated, how can you expect to be treated the way you want when you are disrespecting them? Respect and love is a two way street, and everyone involved has to make an effort to make it worth it.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
that sounds like part of the golden rule to me AKA the greatest comandment.
“But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back”
another part of it if you put these 2 things together it is the greatest comandment,
also it is the meaning of stewardship.
I think the Gospel is trying to say that we will be judged when we die. God will decide if we go to heaven or hell .If we want to go to heaven then we have to love everyone. People don’t know how much they sin until it’s too late. The average person lies about 1-15 times a day. lying is braking one of the commandments. People think that only bad people break the commandments but everyone does and they still will. a lot of things that people do that they might think aren’t bad is usually against a commandment.
what I understud was that we should love are enemy and family and freinds even thoe what they do
I think God was trying to tell me that you must be kind to your enemies, and do unto them what you would want to be done unto you.
love your enemeys there were Romans scurging Jesus yet he said forgive them Lord they do not know what they do.
I think what the gospel is telling me today is to always love your enemy and don’t do things you want to be done to you. We should follow in Jesus’s image and always be kind to people who are rude to us.
“But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back”. Love your enemies. Don’t be greedy but kind.
I think it is saying that we need to love everyone. He is saying that you should love the ones that hate, dispise, or even want to kill you.
I think Jesus is trying to tell me to love everyone, but especially your enemies. And the quote “sinners give to sinners” stuck out to me.
I think that this goes along with the golden rule in that if you want people to be kind to you then you have to do kind things first implying that you should be the one to be kind and loving first to set an example.
God is telling me that be kind and loving to other people even if they are hurting or being mean to you.
The gospel is telling us that you should love your enemy as you love your friends.God loves everyone even though they are sinners.We should do that.Also help people expecting nothing back.
We must be mindful of how we act but also others.Also not to hate the people who do wrong to you
Today’s Gospel talked forgiving enemies. Most people think that is hard to do because their our enemies of course. But he’s saying we need to learn to forgive them for what they did.
In todays gospel i think that Jesus will be with us no matter what.
I think Jesus is trying to tell me that I should never judge someone or think bad of them, I think its important to think good of people and always give everyone a chance to be your friend or neighbor. So I think Jesus is telling me to maybe meet new people or give someone else another chance. I think this is very important to always follow this too.
What God is trying to tell us here is to love your enemies and treat others the way you want to be treated. Even if someone is being rude to you, don’t retaliate without purpose. Say nothing and let them finish, God will judge them and maybe they will see their own transgression. God also says to not judge, only he can judge. It’s also telling us to see our own transgressions. If we fight back without purpose and sort of escalate the situation with fierce language, it can get back to you later. Being mean is like a boomerang, it will come back to you some day and perhaps break you or fill you with regret.
What I think God is saying in the Gospel is that if you have an enemy You should treat them the same way if they were not you enemy we should treat everyone equally we should try our best to love them or at least be there friend.
“Even sinners love those who love them.” This is what spoke to me in todays gospel. Jesus says that we need too love our enemies but this is just another way of saying it or I think a better way. He says even sinners love those who love them and its true. Just like how we love Jesus even though we are sinners.
I think God is telling me to always be kind to others and to always be nice and love one another . Because you never what someone is going through and we are children of God and sons and daughters of the Father No matter what.
In this scripture what I think God is trying to say is that if you have a enemy you should treat them the same. No matter what they have done to you. and treat others the way you want to be treated. Jesus is trying to saywe need to learn to forgive them for what they did
In today’s gospel Jesus was telling me that everyone we meet will not be perfect. There will be people who are unkind to us but we need to not hold a grudge against them and forgive them. We need to follow Jesus’ example as He is perfect.
“Do to others as you would have them do to you” We are taught to follow this commandment at a very young age. It seems easy to think about, but hard to do. Like when you try your best to make others feel loved, but recieve nothing in return. We have to remember the bigger picture in these times and think about what Jesus would have wanted us to do. And continue to pray for them.
In this Gospel it talks about how to be good to your enemies which to me is saying to be best In the Gospel it talks about If you lend money and expect repayment what good is that credit is that too you because you are really not doing anything good if you are just getting back what you just gave them. It even says sinners lend to sinners and still get back the same amount. Instead Jesus says to do good and not expect anything back in return and then we will be saved.
