7th Sunday of Ordinary Time

David had him!
Right there!
In his grasp and let him go.

Saul was hunting David to kill him.
And one night David snuck into the camp where Saul was sleeping.
And he could have killed him right then and there.

And he had every reason to.
Because Saul was trying to kill him.
David had been anointed to become king,
Because Saul was taking the country down the wrong path.

All of his problems would have been gone.
He would no longer have to flee for his own life
And He would now become the rightful king.

But instead he let him go.
It was an extraordinary act of mercy towards someone who wanted him dead.

But that is what Mercy does.
It lets the guilty go free.

God could have left us to our own designs.
He did not have to die on the cross.

We were the ones who were guilty.
We were the one’s who had done wrong.

But instead, Jesus chose to die in our place.
Because that is what Mercy does.
It takes the place of the guilty.

Are you a masker or anti masker?
Are you vaccinated or un vaccinated?
Are you a Democrat or a Republican?

If you had it in your power to do whatever you wanted.
What would you do?

Would you love your enemy?
Would you do good to them?
Would you be kind to the ungrateful and the wicked?
Would you be merciful, just as your Heavenly Father is merciful?

The measure with which you measure,
Will in return be measured out to you in the end!
