Saturday of the 1st Week of Lent

I say this to you love your enemies.
And pray for those who persecute you.
Not easy to do but the sentiment puts the mind at ease.
We should not  expect always what is our due.In this way you will be sons of your father in heaven.
Because he causes his sun to rise on bad men aswell as good.
We don’t need to get even.
It’s a question of not insisting on the should.

If you love those who love you.
What right have you to claim any credit.
We can sometimes accept we don’t have to sue.
Rather than transmit we can occasionally submit.

He tells you you must be perfect.
As your Heavenly Father is perfect.

……..

Love your enemies
Pray for your persecutors
All quite difficult

……..

See Matthew 5 : 42-48
