This week in class, our Faith Formation students talked about the Golden Rule in today’s Gospel: treat others the way you want to be treated. Jesus asks us to love our enemies and to do good to those who treat us badly. Loving our enemies and following other teachings of Jesus helps us live as Christians. Treating others the way we want them to treat us sums up what Christian morality is. “We who are made in God’s image share God’s communal, social nature. We are called to reach out and to build relationships of love and justice” (National Directory of Catechesis, 43).
Parents, you are your child’s primary teachers, and the lesson of the Golden Rule is modeled and learned at home. Learning and living the Golden Rule is preparation for, or review of, the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.
