Matthew 5,43-48

June 14, 2022 (Tuesday)
Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Matthew 5,43-48
Jesus 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 only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Reflection
The gospel is about transformation; we need to change the way we think, judge and treat others. Respect is earned, not
demanded. We, as Lasallians, are compassionate people. We are taught and formed to help each other and extend this service to our community. We are not judgmental, and we balance everything. We transform lives, especially those who are in need. How do I treat the people in my workplace, and my community? Do I treat them with respect and with dignity as human beings? How?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that “Avenues and opportunities for self-propelled individual, collective and institutional life-affirming action to respond to varied social issues must be provided in every Lasallian institution.” As a Lasallian community, we are challenged to always be life-giving. We give opportunities to those who are marginalized and come up with ways to help them in their situation. We, as a community, set oppressed people as our priority in the mission and help them voice out their concerns.

Synod on Synodality
We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us, Make Yourself at home in our hearts;
Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.
All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever.
Amen.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
