HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (June 25, 2023)
On the way to crucifixion, Jesus said: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” In Romans Paul relates that we find forgiveness in a crucified Messiah who reconciles us to God and yes one another (Romans 5:6-11). The cross reveals that God’s character is not violence; rather, it reveals a way to end violence by not practicing violence. We are reconciled through the extension of forgiveness and mercy and kindness. Reconciliation is the establishment of harmony between God and us.
God has reconciled us, and we have received reconciliation, but where do we go from being reconciled? Do we only bask in being reconciled? Rather, may we keep proclaiming the message of God’s reconciling humankind to God through Jesus Christ. May we seek to be reconciled with another as a response to God’s reconciling us.
Prayer for the Week (June 25-July 1, 2023)
Let 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.
