against such there is no law

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Galatians 5:18-25 Psalm 1:1-4, 6 Luke 11:42-46

Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  23  gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.

In times when we think that there is a lot of evil and we hate the evil and we feel that we should fight the evil, we must remember not to become the evil ourselves.

There is no law against doing the work of God, the love, joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  In spite of all evil, and in fact because of evil we must continue to do the works of God.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always seek to do your works.  Help me not to become the evil that I so despise.

Amen
