You may be children of your heavenly Father

“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.” (MT 5: 44-45)

To be called “children of heavenly Father,” is not only an amazing honor, but also some responsibilities: we need to change the way we think from this world’s perspective to Our Lord’s perspective; His love is total, with no exceptions, no limits and no conditions: “love one another as I have loved you.”

“I give you a new commandment; love one another as I have loved you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
