All of us suffer from plan changes, interruptions, obstacles , unforeseen challenges, demands or requests requiring "our" precious time and we come to the point of giving up: "I'm done." "Can't take it anymore." :"Done my part, now time for someone else." At that moment, it's time to look at what St. Paul went through, neatly summarized in a few compact but power-pact verses of 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. If that's not enough, today's gospel from Matt 5:38-42 reminds us to "go the extra mile", resist natural tendencies to "back off", but rather, push beyond our limits. That's what Jesus did. A simple and effective way to stay on track with him is simply to repeat his holy name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Strength come to push us to and through that extra mile. Try it.
