Last week, Jesus flipped the world’s idea of happiness upside down. This week, He takes it even further—commanding something that feels almost impossible: Love your enemies.

It’s not a suggestion. It’s not a feel-good slogan. It’s a radical, supernatural call that goes against every instinct for self-preservation and revenge. In a world obsessed with “my truth” and personal justice, Jesus calls us to something higher: agapē—God’s selfless, sacrificial love. It’s the same love He showed on the Cross, the love that chooses mercy over payback, and the love that sets us free through forgiveness.

But let’s be honest—how do we love like this? How do we forgive when it’s the last thing we want to do? Fr Sam breaks down why forgiveness isn’t just about the other person—it’s about our own healing. When we hold onto resentment, we stay trapped. When we choose to forgive, God’s power moves through us.

As we continue through the Jubilee Year of Hope, Fr Sam challenges us: Who do we need to forgive? Where is God calling us to love beyond what feels possible? Let’s ask for the grace to love like Jesus—especially when it hurts.
