Luke 6:36–38

Jesus
said to the disciples, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not
judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to
you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put
into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

 

Reflection

Can I tell Jesus in my prayer how hard is it for me
to be merciful, not to judge, not to condemn and to forgive? 

Have I experienced the mercy of our Father?  What keeps me apart from enjoying His
mercifulness?
