For 17 June 2019, Monday of week 11 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 5:38-42
Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.”

Thanks, Scott for your reflection on the reading and what is possible when we open
ourselves to God’s Grace to be peace, to live peace and build peace. Thanks, too, for
sharing so openly our human condition and expectations in circumstances. I could relate as well. Grateful to God who gives us many opportunities to learn from our mistakes.
Blessings on your preaching,
