Sunday Reflection (March 9, 2025)

This Lenten Season, may we mainly focus on the serious sins that lead to tragedy: Sins that damage communities and friendships and disrespect God; Sins like gossip, the use of malicious and hurtful words, and allowing greed, hatred, and vengeance to get a foothold in our hearts. These sins can tear apart the fabric of our relationships and lead to spiritual and emotional devastation. Other serious sins include dishonesty, betrayal, and neglect of the needy.     

As we draw closer to God and each other in love and concern, we must remember that we are not alone in our journey. The Lenten Season is a time when our community comes together to take responsibility for our actions that hurt and injure others. It is a season to bring as much peace and healing to our relationships as possible, knowing that we have the support of our fellow Believers. When we are tempted to do good for the right reasons, the Holy Spirit leads us in the way of Christ.
