It is not easy to understand the mind of God. He sees goodness where we see none; he showers belssings where none seem to be deserved. Yet even with our limited vision we can be sure he is near us whenever we call him.
Through Christ’s own blood we have been forgiven. We did not earn this forgiveness – it is God’s gift to us. We in return must forgive in the same way – not with strings attached, not once only but unconditionally, freely and always.

All the laws, customs and regulations of religion have only one end: to love God and our neighbour. Jesus is adamant that love is at the heart of true religion.
Our Christian life will call on us at times to make a decision for or against Jesus, as for the apostles in today’s gospel. We know with him we have the message of the deepest human love we are capable of.
We choose good or evil often in our lives. To follow something good, we reject paths which are less good. Following Christ means saying ‘No’ to other riches. The gospel today is a call to be joyful in giving up our bad habits for Jesus.
