Second Week of Lent - Monday

Luke 6:36-38

Jesus said to his Disciples:

"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.


"Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Give and gifts will be given to you;

a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,

will be poured into your lap.

For the measure with which you measure

will in return be measured out to you."


--Reflection

It appears that humans can only know themselves through the gaze of others. We call it mirroring. Good parents, like God, naturally bless the child through their receptive and affirming faces.
