7th Sunday in Ordinary Time February 24th, 2019
Reflection Pastors Notes: One of the key tasks facing any Christian community is to put into action the gospel of forgiveness, by refusing to harbour thoughts of hatred and revenge for our enemies. Anger, bitterness and resentment are the moral cancers of our age and set us on the road that leads to disaster and destruction. We have long memories for injuries inflicted and a frightening capacity for nursing old sores, all of which poison our spirit and destine us to a life of misery. While the world goes its way of retribution and revenge this gospel tells us that the standard of behaviour for a follower of Christ is the way of friendship and love. The real test of love is the regard we have for those we find little reason to like; those people who are bent on insulting us and causing us harm. BULLETIN: Notices accepted for bulletin until Wed. mornings.
