Pathways of Hope: "Love Your Enemies"

SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2025Saturday of the First Week of Lent Memorial of Saint Louise de Marillac, Patroness of Social WorkersGOSPEL OF THE DAY: MATTHEW 5: 43 - 48Jesus said to his disciples:"You have heard that it was said,You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.But I say to you, love your enemies,and pray for those who persecute you,that you may be children of your heavenly Father,for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?Do not the tax collectors do the same?And if you greet your brothers and sisters only,what is unusual about that?Do not the pagans do the same?So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."Reflection by Ramil dela Cruz: Recruitment Lead in a Global Bank; Member, Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon; Core Team Member, The Lord's Boardroom; Musician-Plantito-Baller#POHopegiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel
