Gospel: Luke 6:20-31
In echoes of the prophet Isaiah and Mary’s song of praise, Jesus reveals surprising things about who enjoys blessing and who endures woe. He invites his disciples to shower radical love, blessing, forgiveness, generosity, and trust even on enemies and outsiders. (Sundays and Seasons)
Prayer: Help us to see all people as your children, O God, and to treat them with respect and love. May no one remain a stranger to us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
