Love your enemies!
Love your enemies! Gospel of Sunday, February 24, 2019 Dear brothers and sisters, last Sunday, February 17, the Word of God reminded us that at the very origin of our Christian life, marked by the beatitudes, there is the Spirit of the Risen Christ who lives in our hearts. In the passage of the letter to the Corinthians, which we will listen next Sunday, February 24, St. Paul will help us to understand how the mysterious action of the Spirit of Jesus progressively transforms us from earthly men, who got a aged heart contaminated by the corruption of sin , into celestial men enhanced with a "super heart", so to speak, a young, pure heart and, therefore, capable of revolutionizing the world with love. A Love without borders, so powerful, so universal, will remind us the passage of the Gospel of Luke, which extends even to the enemies! One, humanly speaking, "madness", that of loving enemies, but which in reality reveals our participation in the divine nature, our being in the "image and likeness" of God. Somehow, dear brothers and sisters we become perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect, He who causes his sun to rise on the bad as well as the good, and sends down rain to fall on the upright and the wicked alike.
