福音：瑪五20-26
耶穌對門徒說：「我告訴你們：除非你們的義德超過經師和法利塞人的義德，你們決進不了天國。你們一向聽過給古人說：『不可殺人！』誰若殺了人，應受裁判。我卻對你們說：凡向自己弟兄發怒的，就要受裁判；誰若向自己的弟兄說「傻子」，就要受議會的裁判；誰若說「瘋子」，就要受火獄的罰。所以，你們若在祭壇前，要獻你們的禮物時，在那裏想起你們的弟兄有什麼怨你的事，就把你們的禮物留在那裏，留在祭壇前，先去與你的弟兄和好，然後再來獻你的禮物。當你和你的對頭還在路上，趕快與他和解，免得對頭把你交給判官，判官交給差役，把你投在獄裏。我實在告訴你。非到你還了最後的一文，決不能從那裏出來。」
今天福音给我们提出一些信仰生活上的反省。基督徒信仰天主、朝拜天主，更要爱天主创造的万物，特别是天主创造的万物之灵——人。每一个人都是天主按照自己的肖像所受造的，因此，每一个人在天主的眼中都是极其珍贵的。我们爱天主，同时也要爱人。而爱人的最基本的心态是：尊重、友善、宽容、理解、同情等等。假如你有什么才能，那是天主赏赐的，要善用，千万不可骄傲自大，轻视天主和轻视人。
Eusebius, a 3rd century church father, offered the following prayer as instruction for his fellow Christians:
"May I be no man's enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is eternal and abides. May I never quarrel with those nearest me: and if I do, may I be reconciled quickly. May I love, seek, and attain only that which is good. May I wish for all men's happiness and envy none. May I never rejoice in the ill-fortune of one who has wronged me. When I have done or said what is wrong, may I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make amends. May I win no victory that harms either me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are angry with one another. May I never fail a friend who is in danger. When visiting those in grief may I be able by gentle and healing words to soften their pain. May I respect myself. May I always keep tame that which rages within me. May I accustom myself to be gentle, and never be angry with people because of circumstances. May I never discuss who is wicked and what wicked things he has done, but know good men and follow in their footsteps."Do you seek to live peaceably and charitably with all?
“Lord Jesus, my heart is cold. Make it warm, compassionate, and forgiving towards all, even those who do me harm. May I only think and say what is pleasing to you and be of kind service to all I meet.”
