If you ever think that you’ve got this Christianity thing down, read the fifth chapter of Matthew. Here it says, “love your enemies.” Pretty challenging thing to do. I know from talking with people at times, they’ll say, “You know, I just can’t forgive or be friends with…” usually a family member, but it could be somebody else as well.
Life really is an ongoing conversion process. We have to hear the challenge in the Gospel over and over again – and Matthew 5 gives us a difficult challenge to reach.
Monsignor Daniel Hoye
