Ah, Lord God almighty and powerful, which holds the Agreement and mercy towards those who love you and hold on to your commandments, we have sinned and wrong; we have done wickedly and have rebelled; we have strayed from thy commandments and regulations.

Introduction to the Gospel of John 6: 64b.69b
Your Word, O Lord, are spirit and life. You have the words of eternal life.
Gospel reading Luke 6: 36-38
Jesus said to His disciples, "Be generous,
as your Father is merciful. Do not be judgmental,
then you shall not be judged. And do not punish,
then you shall not be condemned; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Give, and you shall be given to you: A good measure and compacted,
were shaken and spilled to the outside will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use to measure, will be measured to you. "
Thus the Gospel of the Lord.
Devotional.
Said that believing in God is very easy and anyone can say it. But as a human being on pilgrimage and live alongside one another in this world, believe in God would be odd if the concrete application of faith is hollow. Jesus revealed the commands and prohibitions in today's Gospel, so that the wheel of life every day is run in accordance with what has been given - him. Generous as the Father and willing to give and forgive is the command of Jesus to us. Besides the commands, there is also a ban or a warning to us to be careful in the act that do not judge and do not punish.
Maybe we've run what Jesus said today. But we need to ponder again with a really, is it true that our actions, generous, willing to give, not to punish already resemble the Father in heaven? For God causes the sun to the righteous and the wicked. Every living being in this world and breathe the same air indefinitely. Thus, God's grace can not be equaled by humans. We also know how much openness of our hearts for helping, giving and consideration of others. Our patience was often challenged by a variety of live events. Differing views, attitudes of others are opposed to us or anyone else did not meet what we wanted. We ourselves also know how much patience not to punish and judge. So let us improve ourselves while they had the chance.
Prayer.
O Jesus, Bring up our faith so that we could resemble you in everything in our lives every day pilgrimage. Amen.
