Today we read from Luke’s gospel the Christian version of “Karma”. What goes around comes around. It is good to remind ourselves that we are not the only people on the planet who are seeking what is true and good. Our Hindu brothers and sisters, who believe in Karma, and also our brothers and sisters in all religious and non-religious traditions, yearn for beauty and justice, mercy and charity.
For if we remember that at all times, we truly will refrain from judging and condemning. If we look into another’s eyes and see a person who is lovable and we treat others as beloved creations of God then indeed we will experience forgiveness and the prodigal abundance described by Luke as a good measure running over.
Namaste! Amen!
The Readings
Deuteronomy 9:4b-10
Psalm 79:8-9,11,13
Luke 6:36-38
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.’
