Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back." Words like these are challenging!

This is still based on an attitude of return on our investment. Would we volunteer if we knew it was good to do, but we didn't "feel" good afterward? What if the "But rather, love your enemies and do good to people we helped seemed ungrateful, or if someone at the food pantry stole $20 out of them, and lend expecting nothing back; then our purse? It can be difficult to love people when we think we might not get anything your reward will be great and you will be back.

We follow a God who loves not only His merciful, just as your Father is merciful." - Lk closest friends, but who loves betrayers, deniers, and crucifiers. The Christian walk is one 6:35-36 of perseverance and sacrifice. What does your love look like? Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD.
