In life, there will be people who will like us, and there are people who don’t like us.
We may be curious about why people like us, and we may be a bit more curious about why there are people who don’t like us.
As for those who don’t like us, there are two options for us to consider.
We can try to please them into liking us, or we may just want to ignore them.
In the gospel, when Jesus had cast out a devil, there were people who said rather disparaging things about Him.
Obviously, those people didn’t like Jesus for one reason or another, although what He did was good and was not harmful or offensive.
Still, Jesus did not resent them and even gave a teaching to help them see the truth, if they were receptive to it.
As for us, we know who Jesus is, and with Him we want to gather those who wish to know Him.
As for those who do not like Jesus for some reason, let us pray for them.
Maybe one day, we may be called to gather them and lead them to Jesus.
