“Each one of us has the capacity to do incredible things. We have the capacity to be loving beyond measure, but let us not fool ourselves. We also, each one of us, have the capacity to hate. We have the capacity to be violent. We have the capacity to retaliate.”
“Each one of us has the capacity to do incredible things. We have the capacity to be loving beyond measure, but let us not fool ourselves. We also, each one of us, have the capacity to hate. We have the capacity to be violent. We have the capacity to retaliate. We can be vehicles of mass destruction, or we can be vehicles of love and mercy. The choice is ours.” – Father Mark Suslenko
The choices we make as human beings impact those around us. As such, Jesus asks us in this week’s Gospel to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us. He implores us to love our enemies and to be merciful to others.
In his homily, Father Mark reminds us that each one of us has the capacity to do incredible things if simply take to heart Jesus’ command to “do to others as you would have them do to you.”
