HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (April 3, 2022)
It is easy to rejoice in the resurrection, and neglect that part about “sharing in the sufferings of Christ,” which raises an interesting question: How do we share in the sufferings of Christ? We share in the sufferings of Christ when we extend mercy to those caught in sin. When we extend mercy to our enemies. When we speak up for the poor and dispossessed. When we do something for the poor and dispossessed. When we help someone wrongly convicted. When we refuse to cheat and lie to get ahead. When we refuse to lash out. When we do not operate from malicious motives.
Paul wanted to know Christ, and not just the resurrected Jesus, he also wanted to know the Jesus Christ who suffered. How deeply do you and I want to know Christ?
Prayer for the Week (April 3, 2022-April 9, 2022)
Let us ask our Father that we imitate his mercy: God of life, Jesus, your Son reveals to us that love is stronger than death, and you wish the sinner to live and to become new.
May we no longer live in the past of sin but make us free for life and love. Give us hearts as merciful to one another as you have been lenient and loving to us. Amen
