Living The Gospel this Week. Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53:10-11)
Isaiah in this passage describes a servant who takes on pain and sorrow to bring healing and forgiveness. This is indeed what Jesus willingly did in order to save us from our sins.
As we give thanks to God today during our Harvest weekend, the sacrifice reminds us of his love for us and calls us to love others in the same way. Our little sacrifices: financial support to the church, forgiving and bearing one another’s burdens and share in their suffering are not made in vain. God will reward each of us accordingly!
Follow Jesus’s example and embrace and embrace any opportunity of giving as a sign of love and service.
Reflect on the love of Christ by being kind and generous to those around you.
Meditate on Mother Teresa words: “The fruit of prayer is faith. The fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace!”
May God grant us the grace to fulfill our mission of building up the kingdom of God here on earth!
