(St. Rita of Cascia, Religious)
Jesus said, “There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.” Mk_9:38-40
Hmmmm! What and whom are we for or against, beloved? And then, are those choices of ours with or against God’s will? God is for LIFE. God is for LOVE. God is for Unity and peace. And we know this because this is what Jesus taught us. And so we should also be FOR the same. God is for Jesus because He Himself told us “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him.” Mt_17:5 And so, if we are FOR God, we must also be FOR Jesus… And if we are for Jesus, we can’t be against Him. Jesus said, “Whoever is not against us is for us.” So, we should always keep that in mind, as we continue to pray for the Church “nones,” the members of other denominations of Christianity, even the Muslims and Buddhists and Hindus. We are all God’s children, whether we know if or not! And we should never be against ANY of God’s children – all of us! That’s the LOVE of God!
