A reason to accuse him

“The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.” (LK 6: 7)

We know this strategy perfectly; how often do we do exactly the same thing to our spouses or relatives: “they might discover a reason to accuse him.” And because we know, we implemented in Program 1 the strategy to protect our spouses from us- the defender of the spouse. It is so important to learn how to always look for love, even love that is fully covered by our emotions, bad words, or bad behavior. Only love can save our relationships, definitely not “watching closely to see a reason to accuse him or her.” 

“My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me.” (Gospel Acclamation)
