7th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME -C- February 23, 2025

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

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.”

Reflection:

Living the Christian life as Jesus teaches in his sermon would make no sense if God did not exist. To live a normal human life would be doing what most people do. But Christians are recognized because there is no earthly reason for doing what we do.

So, we ask ourselves:

• Who is the enemy I am being called to love?

• What help do I need from God to do that?
