HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (December 29, 2019)
There was a song in the 1990s that raised a profound question: “What If God Was One of Us?” The one thing that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam is that we believe that God, indeed, did become one of us in Jesus Christ. The transcendent, hidden God is more fully revealed in Jesus of Nazareth who was empowered by the Holy Spirit and taught us to pray to our compassionate heavenly Father. This laid the foundation for the development of the Christian belief called Trinity (John 1:1-14).
We know what God’s character is like through Jesus Christ, thus it is possible to see that God is not a God of violence. The Old Testament ambivalence about a God of violence has come to an end with the revelation of God’s love in Jesus Christ. We can no longer project our violent nature upon God. God has shown us differently in Jesus Christ. When God became one of us in Jesus Christ, God lifted up humanity to God as valued and worthy of friendship with God.
Prayer for the Week (Dec. 29-Jan. 4)
Let us pray with joy and hope as we celebrate the dawning of God’s Word in Jesus Christ:
God, you have wonderfully created the dignity of human nature and still more wonderfully restored it. Grant that we share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity. Through Christ who eternally dwells with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever.
Amen
(Sunday Missal)
Prayer for the Week (Dec. 15-Dec. 21)
Let us pray that people recognize Christ within us and among us: Lord of hope and joy, through the Holy Spirit you are near to us: May it become visible that Christ lives within us and among us when we are near to one another and bring hope and justice to the world, especially to the poor and to those who suffer. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
