Final Words

As we enter Holy Week, we're reminded of the profound lessons Jesus imparted in His final days. The central themes of love, forgiveness, and justice intertwine, forming the core of our Christian faith. We're called to love deeply, forgive generously, and seek justice relentlessly - not as mere actions, but as a way of life. The prophet Micah's words echo through time: 'What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.' These principles, embodied by Christ on the cross, challenge us to examine our own lives. How can we love like Jesus, crossing boundaries and risking rejection? In what ways can we offer forgiveness as radical as Christ's 'Father, forgive them'? Where is God calling us to confront injustice in our world? As we reflect on these questions, we're invited to see ourselves through Christ's eyes, ransomed from fear and hatred, and given back to God.
