"I do not say up to seven, but seventy times seven" (Matt. 18:22)

is not easy to live the word of Jesus In fact, in many cases, it would be impossible without the help of God (Matt. 19:26)! But what happens when you do not live that word? Because this is what we can see every day. There are nations in a state of latent conflict, such as the Middle East, where terrorism is a response to a situation considered offensive and oppression and retaliation is the answer to terrorism. Still applies to the letter "eye for eye, tooth for tooth." This is the political wisdom of men. You do not notice it, as Saint Paul says, it's folly (1 Cor 3:19). It does not solve anything, do not break the chain evil, but the perpetual and worse. Revenge makes revenge so will, unfortunately, until the end of the world. The reality is this, but we understood that it is the Gospel with his call to forgiveness is wrong, but "reality". We will not let us, therefore, impressed by the gap between the ideal and reality, but we will sustain our commitment to the Gospel, beginning around us. Who came home, did not immediately lose some outstanding give courage?

life experience:
This lesson he had learned in Washington (USA) Jerry the baby, the child of color, which, by the quotient high intelligence, had been admitted to a special class with all white kids. But intelligence was not enough to make it clear to his companions that was the same as the general had attracted the hatred, so much so that on Christmas day all the boys became each other's gifts, ignoring Jerry. The boy wept, of course! But got home he thought of Jesus: "Forgive me ... and ... love your enemies" and, along with his mother, he bought gifts that love with distributed to all its "white brothers."
