Go Not With Your Fallen Nature - Daily Gospel Reflection

Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Today's Gospel Reading is Matthew 5:38-42. Jesus tells us to not go along with those things that are the result of fallen nature. Not an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but rather, turn the other cheek. Jesus teaches us that it isn’t about “getting even”, it’s about the call to love and to forgive. We are to let go of the desire for revenge and instead seek to love in all moments.

There can be no peace in the world if we are always looking for revenge. The world is in great need of conversion, let us pray for that conversion today.
