Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Epistle: 2 Corinthians 11:31-12:9

Gospel: Luke 6:31-36

The "Golden Rule"

At that time Jesus said: “Deal with others as you would like them to deal with you.

· If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

· And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do as much.

· And if you lend only to those from whom you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full”.

· “Rather, you must love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without expecting any repayment.

· In this way, you will receive a great reward. You will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful”.

The meaning of this Holy Gospel:

This hyperbolic command summarizes the duty of a disciple regarding love of enemies, and all people for that matter. We should be willing and ready to sacrifice ourselves and what we have for the welfare of others.

To be merciful means to have sincere concern for someone else, especially when they are suffering or disadvantaged. God showed His mercy by sending His Son to die for our sins.

God expects us to imitate Him by seeking after the welfare of those who oppose us.
