Greeks, Romans…

ancient homeland and forced to wander

The Word of Christ through the Gospel Luke“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who
curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. If anyone hits you on the cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him
have your shirt as well. Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. Do for others
just what you want them to do for you.” - Luke 6:27-31
