ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS - Comments From the Chair 26 February 2021

#TeachingAboutAnger #Grudges #Forgiveness #Grace. TOPIC: DO YOU HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE? 1st Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28 Responsorial Psalm Psalms 130:1-2, 3-4, 5-7A, 7BC-8 Verse Before the Gospel Ezekiel 18:31 Gospel Matthew 5:20-26 In today’s gospel reading, Jesus talks about righteousness that is not skin-deep. It is not merely following the laws of man but obeying the law of love, the law of God. Anger can derail our resolve, especially if we are onion-skinned and prone to holding grudges. Do we carry a list of wrongs done against us in our minds? This is the 325th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
