Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus challenges us to be generous in our love. Keeping score, getting even, holding grudges,
being resistant and hating enemies are not routes to holiness and the fulfilling life. Draw on Gods
limitless love for you to go the extra mile, seek the great good, love your enemies and see what miracles
God can work in your life! You cannot out give God!
