God Offers the Beauty of the Sunset to All of Us, without Distinction

Tuesday’s Gospel reading is from Matthew 5:43-48.

Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. This will prove that you are children of God. For God makes the sun rise on bad and good alike; God’s rain falls on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your sisters and brothers, what is so praiseworthy about that? Don’t the Gentiles do the same? So be perfect, just as your Abba God is perfect.”
