7th Sunday - A (February 23, 2020)


Your Heavenly Father is Perfect

Jesus continues to show us how we can be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Last week, we could summarize the practices he taught as, “It is not enough to avoid evil, we must do good.”

Similarly, today’s Gospel can be summarized as, “Not only should we not take revenge, we must love those who wrong us.”

That is the way of God, which Jesus is inviting us to follow.  That is the way to become more like the heavenly Father who is perfect. 

Lent begins this Wednesday, this invitation from Jesus should be the motivation and purpose of our Lenten practices.
