We all have a set of values we live by. In the readings for today, Paul teaches that our love should be genuine and that we should not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. In the Gospel from Matthew, Jesus teaches that those who wish to be his disciples must pick up their cross and follow him. These are high expectations, and when we fall short, we might experience feelings of guilt, shame, and even unworthiness. In these low times, we do well to remember that God's value system is based on love and all we need to do is reach out in prayer and God will come to us and help us.
In the reading from the prophet Jeremiah, we will God say to Jeremiah, "If you turn bac, I will take you back, and you shall stand before me." this is good news, because God's way is the way of love.
