RECONCILIATION
True reconciliation is emotional, dramatic, and cleansing. When two people meet heart
to heart and work through old hurts, misunderstandings, and careless words, cleansing
tears often flow and the encounter ends with an embrace that fills both with the warmth of
a love too strong to fade.
The readings this weekend assure us of this healthy release that comes with reconciliation. They give us the courage to reach out to someone with whom we need to reconcile
ourselves, and give us the courage to ask for forgiveness from God, too.
In the reading from Exodus, we see how God refuses again and again to give up on the
Israelites. Even though they grow impatient with God and turn to false idols, God still calls
them back. Luke’s Gospel assures us that God rejoices when we turn away from sin. Paul’s
letter to Timothy encourages us, like Paul, to look back on our lives and recognize where
God’s patient mercy has been shown to us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
