Gospel for September 10, 2015 (Thursday)

Lk 6:27-38

Jesus said to his disciples, "But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse, 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.  For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?  Even sinners love those who love them.  And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?  But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.  Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.

"Stop judging and you will not be judged.  Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.  Forgive and you will be forgiven..."
