THURSDAY OF THE fIRST WEEK OF LENT
Today's Gospel very simply asks us to be kind. Treat others as you would want them to treat you. This is not just a Christian mandate but it is a universally accepted and desired message by all faiths, and all men whether they are believers or not.
We value our personal dignity and identity. We must also see and value the dignity and identity of others.
so, when you are tempted to be unkind, in speech, action or thought, keep in mind the Evangelical message of today: Do to others what you would have them do unto you.

Pax et bonum
