Third Week 3RD DAY

We are going to look at Jesus in this meditation.

Jesus, untiring creator of brotherhood

	Read slowly Luke, chapter 15:  the three parables about mercy.
	He offers his pardon freely.
	He activity is HEALING.
	It is the good news of a God the Father, reconciliator. Eliminating hatred. Suffering discrimination. Creating COMMUNITY. Creating SOLIDARITY.
	See Luke 6, 27; 6, 35; Matthew 5, 45.

Conflictive activity of Jesus:

	He takes action to eradicate the causes of sin
	He criticises legalism Matthew 5, 21-48 Mark 3, 4-6
	He opposes the tradition that makes ineffective help to those in need: Mark 7, 8-13
	He condemns the abyss which separates the rich and the poor
	He enters into conflict with the religious world (which has become separated from justice and love) Luke 11, 40-42 Matthew 23, 23-24 Injustice is a source of conflict The action taken by Jesus provokes a violent reaction

A pacific attitude before adversaries:

	Meekness: Matthew 25, 50 Luke 22, 61: 23, 34
	He spent His life doing good: 1 Peter 2, 23

What does all this tell me?

Meditate on the words that most attract my attention, MAKE NOTES.
