Saturday Of The First Week Of Lent – Saturday, March 3, 2012 |
Suggested Readings: Matthew 5: 43-48 (Taken From The American Standard Bible)
Matthew – Chapter 5
43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: 44 but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; 45 that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? 48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
=========================================================================================
“Heavenly Father, thank you for Your great love for me. What else can I compare with Your love for sacrificing Your only begotten son for me? There is no greater love than that. Lord, I pray that today You will heal my broken heart, because You love me and care for me. I know that no matter what happens or what will happen to my life, Your love for me will never end. Teach me how to love You even more.”
Today’s suggested penance: Do something kind for someone who does not like you.
