FAITH BOOK

 From Colossians reading:

Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,

heartfelt compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness, and patience,

bearing with one another and forgiving one another,
if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord
has forgiven you, so must you also do.

Reflection:

This passage calls us to live as God’s chosen people, marked by holiness and love. It reminds us that our relationships are a reflection of God’s grace: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience are not optional but the way we embody Christ in the world. Forgiveness is at the heart of this calling – just as the Lord has forgiven us, we are invited to forgive others, letting go of grudges and healing wounds.

So, we ask ourselves:

• In what ways can I show more compassion, kindness, or patience to those around me this week?

• Are there relationships in my life where forgiveness is needed? How can I take a step toward it?
