Words of Jesus
For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
Matthew 5: 20 – 26
Blessed is He who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
— St Teresa of Avila
Abba, Father, Lord God, humbled but always thankful for all Your blessings, I ask that You bless me and my house this day, that You enlarge our territory and that Your hand would be with each of us to keep us from evil and from causing pain. For I am committed to create a legacy built on faith, empowered by hope and filled with love, unconditional love. The kind of love that is forgiving as its source, for no one under the sun should be or do anything but what he or she would expect and ask for be done to and with them. For as You have forgiven, we should forgive, and as You are slow to anger we too should always work towards letting go of what tempts us to be angry, and always be quick to reconcile in this unconditional love. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
