Thanks for the visit.

The readings for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C teach us about mercy, forgiveness, and love. These themes show us how to live like Jesus in our everyday lives.

• Mercy over revenge: David shows mercy to Saul, sparing his life even when he has the chance to kill him (1 Samuel 26:2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23). This teaches us to choose mercy over revenge.

• Love your enemies: Jesus tells us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us (Luke 6:27-28). This shows the radical love we are called to have.

• Forgive and be forgiven: Jesus teaches us to forgive others and we will be forgiven (Luke 6:37). Forgiveness is a key part of Christian living.

• Generosity in giving: Jesus encourages us to give without expecting anything in return (Luke 6:30, 38). This generosity reflects God’s love for us.

• Image of the heavenly man: Paul explains that we are to bear the image of Christ, the heavenly man (1 Corinthians 15:45-49). We are called to live like Christ.

• Judging others: Jesus warns against judging others (Luke 6:37). We are called to show understanding and compassion.

The 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C reminds us of the importance of love, mercy, and forgiveness in our lives. By following these teachings, we can live more like Jesus every day.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 103: The Lord is kind and merciful.

I praise the Lord and remember His kindness: forgiving sins, healing ailments, and saving from despair, showing endless mercy and love, far surpassing our shortcomings.

• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:45-49: The first Adam was earthly, the last Adam (Christ) a life-giving spirit. We, once earthly, will transform to bear the likeness of the heavenly man.

• Gospel – Luke 6:27-38: Jesus taught his disciples to love their enemies, do good to those who hate them, and bless those who curse them.
