HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Prayer for the Week (October 8-October 14, 2023)
Father, enable us to penetrate the depth of the whole truth, and grant that we share with others the goods you have put at our disposal. Teach us to overcome divisions and may your Holy Spirit lead to full unity as your sons and daughters in full charity and in obedience to your will; through Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.

Sunday Reflection (October 8, 2023)
We can get so caught up with those whom we deem to be rejecting Jesus as the Messiah that we reject Jesus the Messiah through our mistreatment of others. We become wicked tenants when we fail today to show compassion to Jews, Muslims, or homosexuals, or immigrants. We reject Jesus the Messiah when we fail to care for the poor and most vulnerable in our midst. The rejected one became the cornerstone and Jesus the rejected one stands with those who have been rejected. When we oppose his message, we trip and stumble and face judgment.
Despite our failures and rejection of God and others, God keeps sending his message to us. God works with us and through obedience to God’s grace, we demonstrate God’s love and compassion to the world. The Holy Spirit leads us in the way of Christ to stand with others, especially when they are rejected as God stands with us when we are rejected because we chose to follow the way of the cross.
