June 15, 2021 - Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time (Fr. Patrick Carr)

2 Corinthians 8:1-9 • Matthew 5:43-48

We become "perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect" when we "test the genuineness of our love" by showing concern for others - especially by loving our enemies. We love them with the love that we receive from Jesus, who "for your sake became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich." In Christ we are rich, enough to love our enemies.
