Reflection - Week of May 31

Question of the Week:


What will I do this week to reflect the qualities of the divine essence?















     God’s generosity is strongly reflected in today’s readings. God’s self-description to Moses relates God’s generosity with mercy, grace, forgiveness, kindness, and faithfulness. Perhaps the ultimate example of God’s generosity comes in God’s Son—a gift to the world in the incarnation who gives himself over to death on the cross. As John points out, God is also generous with salvation. It is available to anyone who believes in the Son. Finally, God has given us the Holy Spirit, who remains with us always. Generosity is another relational quality, needing another person to be generous to.

     We cannot be all-powerful, all-knowing, infinite, or perfect. Nor can we bring salvation to the world. However, we can be merciful, gracious, slow to anger, kind, faithful, loving, and generous. The qualities that God puts first and foremost as godlike are qualities we can have—and use—as well. When we forgive and bear with one another, act kindly, give of ourselves, and love each other, we are acting as God self-identifies.

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation

"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."

-Bishop Larry Silva
