Lord of all nations, grant me grace to love all people, every race; and in each person may I see my kindred, loved, redeemed by thee. 🙏❤

"In today’s age, it is all too easy to live our lives in a sort of paralyzed fear, constantly second-guessing what we say or do, lest we do something wrong and get cancelled by the masses, or called out in such a way that publicly showcases our lack of knowledge or imperfection. But what Jesus describes in this passage is not so much a process of calling others out in order to shame and ridicule them into obsolescence and exclusion, but calling others in to a process of reconciliation, forgiveness, and communal understanding..."

Conflict is a part of relationships and life in community. Jesus’ words in today's gospel are often used in situations having to do with church discipline. The prophet Ezekiel tells of warning the wicked to turn from their ways, and Paul reminds us that love is the fulfilling of the law. We gather in the name of Christ, assured that he is present among us with gifts of peace and reconciliation.

"And then Jesus said something Christians have often made even more dangerous: “Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow me.” Those words are important and central to our faith, but they have also done real harm. They have been used to coerce, deceive, and dominate. They have been used to tell abused people to stay, oppressed people to endure, LGBTQIA+ people to accept second-class status, and women and people of color to become smaller, quieter, and less themselves..."

The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God’s words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn’t grasp Jesus’ words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In worship we gather as a community that we might offer ourselves for the sake of our suffering world.
