Dear Readers (14/2009)

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. 'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery. 'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,' but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one. 'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'* But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you. 'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

Love One Another! 14/2009 → The Main Topic

“In a world where evil lays its snares at every turn, Love One Another Magazine is a voice calling for conversion, reparation, and joyous, principled living” — writes the president of the Polish Episcopate, Archbishop J. Michalik.

Over the last twenty years, Love One Another! has become a powerful tool of evangelization throughout Poland and the world. Resisting the aggressive degeneration of moral values that prevails today, it proclaims the Gospel message and the beauty and joy of living in friendship with God. Thanks to LOA, people in all parts of the world are experiencing conversions and discovering the path that leads to God. The following are excerpts from some of the many letters we receive from our readers: “I was greatly moved upon reading the last issue of LOA. I realized what a great gift of God’s love you are. Reading your magazine is like a breath of fresh air. I look forward to every issue with the same joy as I do to meeting an old friend. God grant these meetings many never end. Your work is very important. Thank you for being there”; “It is a marvelous quarterly…. I owe a great deal to LOA, and it is very important to me. God must truly be working through you, for every time I open the magazine, I feel God speaking to me. Blessed are the fruits of your labors!”; “My special thanks to LOA magazine. You helped me to see what a “trash heap” my life had become. I saw the disorder and the lack of purpose and meaning. LOA helped me get on my feet again.”

Dear readers! Our deepest thanks to you for supporting the work of Love One Another with your prayers and contributions to our publishing fund.Thanks to you we are able to publish LOA and her sister magazines and distribute them in the territories of the former USSR, Africa, India, and Eastern Europe.

Our Lord Jesus wants you to be missionaries and win new readers for LOA, so that a great many souls may believe in God and be united with Him. Share your faith with others. Write down and send us your testimonies of the graces you have received and the healings and conversions you have experienced. You received the gift of faith for free. Now be free in sharing it. We at LOA pray a rosary and chaplet of divine mercy for our readers every day, and once a week we offer up a Holy Mass for the same intention. Christ’s blessings upon you all.
