Tghe Shema: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)

Part one of two on forgiveness and reconciliation. "By forgiving offenses is meant that we do not seek to avenge ourselves on those who offend against us, but treat them kindly, and are ready to confer upon them any benefit within our power." The definition of forgiveness came from The Catechism Explained: An Exhaustive Explanation of the Catholic Faith, by Fr. Francis Spirago, Edited by Fr. Richard Clarke, S.J. (Click HERE to read it online. The definition is at page 424). The rest of my commentary came from Moral Theology : A Complete Course Based on St. Thomas Aquinas and the Best Modern Authorities, by John A. McHugh and Charles J. Callan (Click HERE to read it online. My commentary begins at paragraph 1198).

NOTHING can separate us from the love of God!

It's ok, and actually good, to look a little weird if you're pursuing the kingdom of heaven.

In what way are you like the path, the stony ground, or the plant among the thorns?

Trust in God's revelation and trust in Jesus.
