Monday 11th week of Ordinary Time

 

Offer no resistance Mt. 5:38-42



An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth only leads to blindness.
It is a vicious cycle of violence that never ends.

Jesus instead tells us to end the violence by turning the other cheek.
Offer no resistance.

In other words the violence ends with us.

This is the mystery of the cross.

This is the only way to end violence.
Otherwise everyone will be blind one day!
