HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (May 15, 2022)
Our love and concern for one another in Christian community is grounded in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35). We demonstrate this love by the way we treat one another; the way we treat immigrants; the way we treat our enemies. We demonstrate love by the way we treat everyone. Furthermore, we demonstrate love by the structuring of our society that is fair and just, especially for the most vulnerable. What do others know from the actions and attitudes we demonstrate toward them? Do we reflect the same prejudices, hatred, and malice of the world around us?
How do they know we are Christians? Although we are finite, limited creatures, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we demonstrate love, even if to a limited number of persons. They will know we are Christians when we interject divine love into the life of the world. Furthermore, we offer others the opportunity to participate in this life of divine love, and the beauty and grace of it is that God loves us even when we do not respond to divine love.
Prayer for the Week (May 15, 2022-May 21, 2022)
Let us pray that our love draws its strength from God’s own love: Loving Father, you revealed the depth of your love in Jesus Christ. Although our love remains brittle, fickle and falls short, may we love one another the way Christ has loved us. May our love, like yours, be reliable, ever respectful of others, and always inviting and reaching out. Amen.
