Sunday Reflection (June 14, 2020)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboWe all know broken people and all of us are broken in one way or another, and yes, some more than others. The Good News is that Jesus had compassion for broken people. The ministry of Jesus with broken people is an affirmation of the Old Testament declarations about God being on the side of those in need and without power. The prophet Jeremiah critiques those who misuse power and become evildoers who neglect and oppress the most vulnerable in society (Jeremiah 20:13).
Jesus invites you and me to labor for the kingdom to bring about healing and wholeness and offering friendship to broken people (Matthew 9:35-36). God invites us to go to those who lack healing and friendship. By the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to be coworkers of Jesus in God’s ministry to broken people.
Prayer for the Week (June 14-June 20)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray to God so that we be to everyone the sign of his healing love: Lord God, source of all love you showed you have made yourself our God and have bound us closely to yourself in a lasting covenant of life and love. Mold us into a people set free by Jesus your Son. Help us be responsible for one another and be a living sign of your tender love and compassion. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
