Sunday Reflection (May 19, 2024)

Sunday Reflection upon Romans 8:22-27
The Holy Spirit does not free us from the tension between the ideal state of things in God’s love and compassion and the current reality. Instead, the Holy Spirit intensifies this tension, urging us to respond more fully to God’s love and contribute to the healing and restoration of all creation.

The Holy Spirit, in its infinite wisdom, works through our weaknesses to guide us in sharing God’s love with others. It encourages us to not just see the world, but to look beyond it, to God. By doing so, we shift our focus from the world’s problems and challenges to the transformative power of God’s mercy and love at work in our lives and the world around us. In a world filled with destruction, pain, and misery, we can bring hope and effect positive change. We are not alone in this endeavor.
