In today's gospel reading, Jesus continues teaching the people how believers in Christ are supposed to behave. Remember on Sunday, we reflected that God shows us his love by forgiving us? Jesus tells us in another part of scripture that we are to love one another as God loves us. This means forgiving one another as God forgives us. This is the true test of whether or ...http://thecatholicwriter.com/oxygen/2013/06/tuesday-18-june-faith-and-religion/

Peace in the Midst of Trouble +Q&A COFFEE AND CANTICLES - June 12, 2013 Pay attention to Psalm 62 at Evening Prayer tonight. The contrast between the strophes is startling. We take this kind of thing for granted in the psalms, so it's good to remind ourselves now and then how amazing--and instructive--it is. The psalm opens with this lovely bit of inspiration: In God alone is my soul at rest; * my help comes from him. He alone is my rock, my stronghold, * my fortress: I stand firm.

After Saul had left the cave, David called to him from a distant, letting the king know how his enemy had spared his life. Apparently, David composed this psalm while he was hiding in one of these caves, avoiding and sparing Saul. David develops an interesting structural pattern throughout this psalm.

Jesus wants us to not only tolerate but actually love those who have hurt us, love meaning to lay down one's life for the other as Jesus did for us. We are expected to display a radically different kind of attitude than the world around us. We are called to pray for those who persecute others.
