Gospel of the Day (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, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall 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 your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Let us praise the Lord. His mercy is everlasting.
Let us bless his Holy Name. He alone is our salvation.

In communion with our brothers and sisters in sickness and all people tested by the sorrows of life, we turn to God, through the intercession of St. Peregrine, and ask for healing, peace, and for the strength to deepen our faith in God:

In the light of this new day, look with kindness O Lord, on those of us suffering serious illnesses, uncertainties and fears. Grant us the grace to trust in your goodness, your holy will, and your healing power. Restore our health and grant us the strength to face all the trials of life with courage. Bless our caregivers with patience and peace. Together with St. Peregrine, standing by the cross of your crucified Son, may we receive comfort, peace, and serenity from Him who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

St. Peregrine, pray for us.

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 5,38-42)

Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.

If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow."
