HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Prayer for the Week (March 23-March 29, 2025)
Let us pray that God give us the courage to repent and turn to him and to people in love: Patient God, we are reluctant and slow to make the change of heart we need. Give us the time to understand the extent of your mercy and your love which your Son Jesus showed us in its fullness in his suffering and death. Recognize your own Son in us and accept us in our poverty. Raise us up and change us so that we proclaim your persistent love through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sunday Reflection (March 16, 2025)
Sunday Reflection upon Luke 13:31-35
Jesus uses a poignant metaphor to depict God’s nurturing nature. He compares God to a protective hen, longing to gather us under divine wings of care. This comforting image stands in stark contrast to our human response. Despite God’s invitation to healing and restoration, we often act unjustly, unfairly, cruelly, or with violence, essentially crucifying Jesus once again.
The Holy Spirit is crucial in our transformation, empowering us to nurture and protect, especially the most vulnerable. The Spirit hovers over us, shaping Christ within us and among us. As we grow from spiritual chicks to spiritual adults, imitating God’s nurturing nature as revealed in Jesus Christ, we can contribute to a world where deceit, lies, and violence no longer hold sway. This approach of imitating God as revealed in Christ is a hopeful and optimistic vision we can work towards.
