Seventh Sunday after Epiphany, Year A, February 19, 2017
Most people pride themselves on being good, law-abiding citizens, but it’s not enough to simply avoid doing harm to one’s neighbor. Jesus calls us also to work actively on behalf of our neighbors, to seek their good, and even to pray for those who torment or would harm us. This is one tall order, but it is integral to being a good steward of God’s abundance. (Photo: Alisdare Hickson, Creative Commons)
