Fr Ed believes the answer to the question Rodney King posed, “Can we all get along?” is a resounding yes. In fact, not only can we “get along,” we can do good to those who hate us – but only if we, as St Paul points out in today’s first reading, remain firmly rooted in Jesus.
Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another.
COL 3:12-17
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
LK 6:27-38
