1Kings 21: 1-16; Ps 5; Matthew 5: 38-42

Pray for others

Turning the other cheek can be difficult, when instinct aches to retaliate. But turning our cheeks is exactly what Christ asks of us – because loving him involves forgiving each other.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”
