Matthew 12:14-21

Reflection

Jesus is on the side of the weak. His message, demanding thought it may be, does not crush people. 

Justice comes through compassion - like care for the bruised reed - not through the exercise of power and violence. In this way Jesus is pleasing to his Father. 

Prayer strengthens the soul and personality, making us ever-more pleasing to God.

Prayer

Lord Jesus,
You love us all and make us your brothers and sisters.
You call us to follow you. You invite us to announce the Good News.
Lord, grant us the courage to live our commitment.
Teach us to go beyond our borders.
Teach us to discover you in the lowliest.
Teach us to see with the eyes of faith.
In Jesus's name we pray.
Amen
