Reflection
from the desk of Fr. Terry
Love:
The
Gospel talks about God's great expectation from all of us - that we have to
love, but a different kind of love. Jesus specifically mentioned, 'love your
enemies.' The word 'love' is explained by the words that follows: "do
good," "bless;' and 'pray for.' Is this can be?
In
other words, this type of love is the highest form of love by which in Greek it
is called agape which means a benevolent towards the other person. It means
that no matter what that person does to us we will never allow ourselves to
desire anything bad but his/her highest good and to go out of our way to be
good and kind to him /her.
What if our love is not reciprocated?
It will come back to you, if other person gives slanderous and malign words and
deeds to you, then you don't accept and locked in your mind like prisoners,
these will come back to the person who gives them. Pray for the grace to love our enemies and
pray for those who abuse us.!
