Jesus wants to teach us more than just this normal and good thing.

Among neighbors and members of the society, we always do acts of love, and this all makes us good friends or neighbors. In the family and school, a child is considered kind and sincere if he loves his siblings and friends. When we love relatives or friends, this action is classified as normal love. One of the most important compromises or calculations is the act of love. Lent is indeed full of compromises and calculations so that we are able to realize what God and the Church want from us. When the words of Jesus Christ who ask us to be perfect like the heavenly Father who is perfect, become our concern in Lent, our situation is somehow the same as children who have not met the standard of their parents. Dialogue, compromise and openness with each other are to be made possible, so that good relations and living together can be maintained in love. There are children who cannot meet their parents standard. So perfect parents really want their child or children to be as perfect as they are.īut not all families experience this ideal. If a father or mother targets a score 10 and their children can achieve it, or even go beyond that, the parent's goal is achieved. In the family, parents really hope that the child or their children reach the level of progress according to the standard they want. Our meditation today has the theme: Become Perfect Like the Father Who is Perfect. Deuteronomy 26: 16-19 Rs psalm 119: 1-2.4-5.7-8 Matthew 5: 43-48īECOME PERFECT LIKE THE FATHER WHO IS PERFECT Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in Labuan Bajo, Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia.
