TOPIC: HOW CAN I OVERCOME WICKEDNESS WITH GOODNESS?

First Reading: First Kings 21: 1-16
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 5: 2-3ab, 4b-6, 7
Alleluia: Psalms 119: 105
Gospel: Matthew 5: 38-42

In our prayer time today, let us reflect on how we can overcome evil with goodness. Let us ask God to draw us closer to His heart and help us align our actions with His divine will. Let us meditate on our personal experiences and the examples of others. The Holy Spirit is our guide on how we can embody the values of the Beatitudes in our daily lives.  Let us ponder today's gospel message and find strength and inspiration to manifest the divine instinct of responding to evil with good in our everyday lives.

This is the 1512th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Americas, as he brings us today's reflection.

All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
