The commandment of Love

And Jesus said to them: "whoever is angry with his brother will be brought to trial, whoever calls his brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Council, and whoever calls his brother a worthless fool will be in danger of going to the fire of hell."
Matthew 5:22 GNBDK

Reflection:
The sixth commandment warns us of murder, and what Jesus does is reach out to its root. It begins in the heart and mind when we begin to grudge, resent and hate those around us, especially those who have done us wrong. Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, it is He who makes all things new. Therefore, let us humbly submit to him and his commandment of Love.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace, to remain in his word made flesh in Jesus Christ his son and may your obedience be blessed by his Holy Spirit as you bear good fruit. Amen 

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
