My Daily Word of Life. Genesis 3:6 “So Eve took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”

How perfect it is that on this Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, we arrive at the heart of the Gospel as Jesus invites us with those final words of today’s Gospel: “So, be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” The question remains what does it mean to be perfect as the Father is perfect?” I would like to suggest that to be perfect as the Father is perfect is to be holy as He is holy, and to be merciful as He is merciful.

Matthew 5:20 “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:13-15 “You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.”

“Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs.”

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation”
