“Jesus died for his enemies and forgave them even as they were crucifying him, revealing the depth of God’s unconditional love.” — Bread for the Journey

"The way of the cross is the way of self-emptying, self-surrender, and self-abandonment, a way of giving up all that we cling to for the sake of embracing the love of God."

"As we confront our own hypocrisy, we begin to see that our neighbors are not enemies to be judged, but fellow human beings to be loved and forgiven."

‪“God does not demand that we read Scripture or pray out of duty. He invites us to do so out of love.”‬

‪“If we try to make people pray, we miss the point. Prayer is about relationship, not obligation.”‬

“Lord, may I always listen to your invitation, and not to the voices – including those in my own head – telling me what I cannot do.”
From this morning’s Lectio365 prayer

“Jesus chose vulnerability, not power, as the way to bring salvation. In His weakness, He revealed God’s strength; in His death, He opened the way to life.” (The Return of the Prodigal Son)
