Young Catholics<p>Reflect on the 5th Sunday of Lent Year C. Embrace God's promise of new beginnings and let go of past mistakes. Like in Isaiah, trust in God's path through the wilderness. Strive for a deeper relationship with Christ, pressing on in faith as Paul guides us in Philippians. In John’s Gospel, learn from Jesus' mercy toward the adulterous woman. Forgive others and seek personal change in our own attitudes. <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Lent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lent</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/FaithJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaithJourney</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forgiveness</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/NewBeginnings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewBeginnings</span></a> <a href="https://young-catholics.com/3521/5th-sunday-of-lent-year-c/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">young-catholics.com/3521/5th-s</span><span class="invisible">unday-of-lent-year-c/</span></a></p>

Young Catholics<p>The parable of the prodigal son teaches us about love, forgiveness, and our relationship with God. It warns of the dangers of following our own desires and shows that obedience without love can lead to resentment.

Young Catholics<p>Reflecting on the 4th Sunday of Lent Year C, we are reminded of God's boundless mercy and the joy of new beginnings. The parable of the Prodigal Son highlights forgiveness and reconciliation. The Israelites' first Passover in Canaan signifies God's faithfulness. In Christ, we become new creations, leaving our old selves behind. Let us embrace God's love, seek forgiveness, and celebrate renewal. <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Lent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lent</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Mercy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercy</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forgiveness</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/NewBeginnings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewBeginnings</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Faith</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Reconciliation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reconciliation</span></a> <a href="https://young-catholics.com/3516/4th-sunday-of-lent-year-c/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">young-catholics.com/3516/4th-s</span><span class="invisible">unday-of-lent-year-c/</span></a></p>

Rev.

It helps, because it allows us to unthink the necessity of violence[...] But it helps more, because it indicates that there is a way to act in a violent world which assumes the ontological priority of non-violence, and this way is called ‘forgiveness of sins’.”</p>
EpiscoGrrl<p>Today’s sermon has me thinking differently about my earlier reflection on <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forgiveness</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/reconciliation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reconciliation</span></a> Is looking for a demonstration of change another way of saying that I will only forgive &amp; reconcile only with people “like” me? If so, that means I am judging who does &amp; does not deserve forgiveness. Which is not what today’s Gospel calls on me to do. Neither is it following the example of Jesus who looked down from the cross &amp; prayed God to forgive those who put him there. Forgiving everyone, whether they have changed or not, is not easy. It is, however, what we are called to do.</p>

Young Catholics<p>Loving your enemies is a powerful lesson in forgiveness and understanding. This plan guides youth in softening their hearts and letting go of anger. It's not about excusing bad behavior but freeing your heart from hatred. Embrace small actions that lead to loving as Jesus taught. Remember, love is stronger than hate, and choosing to love your enemies brings you closer to God, offering true peace and joy. <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forgiveness</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/LoveYourEnemies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoveYourEnemies</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/YouthMinistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouthMinistry</span></a> <a href="https://young-catholics.com/13943/loving-your-enemies-lesson-plan/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">young-catholics.com/13943/lovi</span><span class="invisible">ng-your-enemies-lesson-plan/</span></a></p>
Young Catholics<p>Reflecting on the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C, we're reminded of the power of mercy, forgiveness, and love in our lives. David's mercy towards Saul teaches us to choose kindness over revenge. Jesus calls us to love our enemies and forgive, reflecting His radical love. Let's strive to live like Christ, showing compassion and understanding instead of judgment. Together, we can spread peace and love, making the world a better place. <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Mercy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercy</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forgiveness</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/Jesus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jesus</span></a> <a href="https://young-catholics.com/3494/7th-sunday-in-ordinary-time-year-c/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">young-catholics.com/3494/7th-s</span><span class="invisible">unday-in-ordinary-time-year-c/</span></a></p>
