Friends of the Rosary,

Today, in the reading of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38–42), Christ the Lord says:

"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.”

Christianity teaches us how to face evil. 

Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. adopted these non-resistance to evil techniques, although they missed the true faith.

Essentially, we Christians avoid mirroring back aggressors’ attacks and offenses.

We refuse to cooperate with their earthly violence or tricks. We reject the Jewish assertion of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

To offenses we respond with forgiveness and merciful love.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
