Prayer for the Week (June 21-June 27)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray that our life and words speak out for the Lord: God our Father, we have experienced grace, love, and forgiving mercy from you. Your Son Jesus has brought us an unforgettable message of joy. Through the Holy Spirit, lead us to share with others the grace we have received from you. May our lives bear witness that Jesus walks by our side. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Sunday Reflection (June 21, 2020)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboWe are interpenetrated, fused, and glued with Jesus Christ (Romans 6:5). We have died to the self (6:1-11). What does that mean? We die to the self when we refuse to punch back; when we refuse to unleash our anger; when we refuse to fall into malice; when we refuse to nurse our hatreds and prejudices; when we refuse to avenge the wrongs others have done to us; when we refuse to wish God’s wrath upon our enemies, be it national or personal; and, when we refuse to scapegoat others to cover our faults and failures.
We are alive to God in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit leads us to actions and deeds that spring from love, kindness, and compassion. May we respond appropriately to God’s grace!
