Following upon the four teachings from the law presented last Sunday, the master teacher presents two more this Sunday. The first, the legal rule about revenge rooted in Exodus 21:22-25, Leviticus 24:20, and Deuteronomy 19:21, Jesus completes by emphasizing kindness and compassion, true holiness in light of today’s First Reading. Written in the singular (not two eyes and multiple teeth), this law war originally intended to curtail the extent of revenge by an evil person. However, at the time of Jesus, many already regarded this teaching as too severe. Yet Jesus’ new teaching could have been similarly interpreted as too severe, erring on the side of pure charity, and thus disconnected entirely from the law of revenge. The source of the second teaching Jesus addresses is Leviticus 19:18. Why the evangelist Matthew and Jesus leave out “as yourself” and expands the verse to include “hate your enemy” is uncertain. Growing tensions between Jewish leadership and Gentiles at the time Matthew was writing could be the reason. After the quotation, Jesus explains the morality his disciples are to live. Love extends beyond neighbors who think and act similarly, to those who disagree and dislike you, and even desire to do you harm.
The call of the Lord’s disciples to be “perfect” or blameless, which serves as both the summary and climax of the last two Sunday’s passages, is the call to be holy, imitating God’s holiness fulfilled in Jesus. “Perfect” in this context is unrelated to the contemporary human need to strive for perfection. Inherent in this word, which occurs in the Lucan parallel to this passage (6:36) and again in Matthew 19:21, is the notion of the divine mercy that disciples are to extend to others who journey on the path to holiness, but occasionally falter.

CREO EN DIOS, LA VIDA Y EL MATRIMONIO. Don Lorenzo Servitje, Mexicano, hijo de inmigrantes, hombre de entereza y calidad humana, pero sobre todo un hombre de Dios; fundador de la gran Empresa Bimbo, con la cual dio empleo a miles de personas y ayudo a otras miles más a través de diferentes organizaciones sociales, murió y regreso a la casa del Padre, el pasado 3 de febrero, a los 98 años de edad.
Dejando un gran legado para el mundo, y en especial para todos aquellos cristianos que queremos ser coherentes en nuestra vida de fe y nuestro quehacer cotidiano en la familia y en la sociedad. Agradezco a Dios el haberle conocido y comparto, parte de su testamento en el cual se despide así de la vida:
“Creo en Dios y en Jesucristo y en sus designios sobre mí y en la realidad del acontecimiento que le ha dado a mi vida sentido y trascendencia así como esperanza y felicidad.
Creo en el reconocimiento y el respeto que se deben a la dignidad como persona que tienen todos los seres humanos.
Creo en la vida, el amor de los esposos y en el valor del matrimonio tanto para los hijos como la sociedad en general, con todo lo que implica de comprensión y entrega.
Creo que hay que procurar el bien de quienes trabajan con nosotros y en general con quienes convivimos.
Creo que todos tenemos una tarea o misión que nos reclama nuestra entrega por entero.
Creo que hay que ser amable, tener alegría y buen humor.
Creo que no hay que perder nunca la calma ni la serenidad.
Creo en el respeto y la admiración del universo, de la naturaleza, el sol y las estrellas, los bosques, las selvas, las playas y los mares, las montañas, las nieves, las mañanas, los atardeceres, los animales y las flores.
Creo en la necesidad de tener participación social activa y comprometida y ocuparme no sólo de mis intereses personales sino también de los asuntos públicos y de la política.
Creo, finalmente, que hay que tener una actitud positiva y optimista ante la vida y saberse despedir de ella.”
Descanse en paz siervo bueno y fiel. MARC
