Dear Friends,
This has been a tumultuous week in our life as a nation. The remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy eleven years ago and the uprisings in the Middle East and especially in Libya where our ambassador and three of his staff were murdered should cause us all to stop, think and pray. The violence continues throughout the region with continued loss of life. Let us pray; for our nation, for comfort for those in grief, and for peace in the world. (there is prayer in the left column for your use)
At times like this I try to remember a few things...
- this is a broken world and the ravages of sin are so
apparent
- our hope is in the Kingdom of God and the rule and reign
of a righteous King; Jesus, the Prince of Peace
- I am to be a conduit of God's love into this brokenness;
from Sunday's Gospel lesson; the cross we bear for
Christ is to give, serve and sacrifice longing for God's
justice to be made tangible and real.
I do not know how we get through this season of conflict; I do not know how the wounds in our nation can be healed let alone the global wounds of war and suffering. However I do know that when I hope in Jesus, I am not disappointed. It reminds me of these verses from Romans 5:1-6...
"Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."
In the midst of conflict, of burdens we bear, of pain and suffering, of tragedy, of questions and doubts; Let us look to Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-3) He sustains us in all things!
in the mission,
Fr. Jon+
