God forgives us and through forgiveness, God has reconciled us to God through Jesus Christ. Having been reconciled to God may we seek to be reconciled with others!  May we make the move toward reconciliation as much as we are able by forgiving and/or seeking forgiveness.  We have been spiritually resuscitated and empowered to make such a move (John 20:19-23). 

Prayer for the Week (April 19-April 25)

Let us pray for a firm faith because God is faithful to us: Blessed are you, God our Father, who raised Jesus from the dead. Keep us firm in the faith and lead us to live in his peace. Open our eyes to see his scars among those who suffer. Inspire us through the Holy Spirit to bring consolation and hope anchored in Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen.

Prayer for the Week (April 12-April 18)

/in /by

Let us pray to God our Father that we rise with the risen Lord Jesus:  God of all life, help us to believe in life, and see Jesus Christ raised up and alive.  Through the Holy Spirit, may we experience him walking with us on the road of life, so that we be a living people rising up from our ways of indifference.  Fill us with the joy of the Spirit, so that our faith and love never waver, for Christ is risen and we are alive in him through the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

The resurrection of Jesus makes sense of the tragedy, humiliation, and scandal of crucifixion in that the final authority is not death, evil, and hatred; rather, the final authority is life, love, and compassion. The resurrection of Jesus foreshadows the restoration of us and the world in complete unity and harmony with God and one another, yet only the future can prove this hope of resurrection.

We still die, we are still divided, hatred and evil abound, but through the Holy Spirit, God transforms today unto resurrected living. Resurrected living is the transcendence of the and particular and present to grasp the universal and eternal. The ground of that transcendence is the resurrected Christ (Colossians 3:1-4)

Think of this Scripture Reading as a reflection of resurrection living: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity (Colossians 3:12-14).” May we embrace resurrected living today!
