Being Different: On Loving Our Enemies | Fr. Mathias Thelen

  • Summary

  • In this homily given on February 23rd, 2025 Fr Mathias preaches on the high standard of love that Jesus calls us to: to love our enemies. When it comes to our love, we are meant to be different from those around us. But when we take our eyes off of Jesus and his standard of love, we begin to compare ourselves with lukewarm Catholics and the culture around us and falsely conclude we're living up to the kind of love Jesus calls us to.

    The true standard of love is not loving those who love us, but loving those who do not love us. We are to be merciful just as God is merciful. God shows us his mercy in Jesus and he calls us to live like him. Father ends his homily by offering two tips to help us to love our enemies.
