In our toxically contentious moment in history, we need to relearn God’s great compassion and empathy for other human beings. Jesus reminds us that God cares deeply about the people we might dismiss, despise, and consider our enemies. To do that requires resources beyond our own. Arguably, the first part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount lays out an agenda for being human that is beyond human capacity to do alone – like loving our enemies. And that is the point. Being human is not a solitary affair. To be human requires others – an ongoing relationship with other human beings and an ongoing relationship with the ultimate Other, the God of the Universe, who also wants to be “Our Father.”
Prayer:
Written by Uli Chi , author of today’s meditation.
God our Father, we are amazed at the breadth and length and height and depth of your love. We are grateful that you, who are Creator, Lord, and Judge, are first and foremost our father. Help us to love those we serve the way you love us. We ask in your name, Amen.
