HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (December 12, 2021)
For John the Baptist, repentance was more than a warm feeling
while weeping at the altar. Rather, it was a change in the way we
live among others and how we treat others. Such repentance brings
hope for those who repent and the world around them. John is
concerned about greed and the accumulation of possessions while
others go without (Luke 3:7-14).
John’s message is especially sharp to those who have more than their
fair share because repentance required that they share their excess,
but for that reason, it gives hope to those who have little. Through
repentance, we make amends and bring about a better way of life,
and not just for ourselves and those like us and those related to us,
but for the whole world. It is difficult to heed John’s warning if we are
comfortable and smug, but if we are willing to respond, there is hope
for us and others, especially those on the “short end of the stick.”
Prayer for the Week (December 12-December 18, 2021)
Let us pray for the courage to do well
what we have to do in life:
Our faithful God, give us the courage
to welcome your Son by sharing
what we have, doing what is right
and just and spreading peace.
May your Son Jesus baptize us
with the Holy Spirit and fire,
so that he renew us by his love
and our hearts overflow with joy
because Jesus is alive among us.
Amen.

Prayer for the Week (December 5-December 11, 2021)
Let us pray that we prepare the road
for the Lord’s coming:
God our Father, we know how
to pierce mountains
and level hills to build highways,
but we have lost the way
to each other and to you.
May your Son lead us to build roads
of justice and love.
We ask you this in the name of him
whom we expect
and who is waiting for us,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
