“Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do. And above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection.” (Colossians 3:13-14, CPDV)
Charity is the bond. It is the thread that holds a community together, even when we are tired, even when we disagree, even when we have been hurt. Saint Paul does not ask us to be perfect. He asks us to carry one another and to forgive as we have first been forgiven.
This week, we invite you to name one relationship that needs mending. It may be a neighbor, a family member, or someone in our own parish family. Take one small step toward peace, whether that is a phone call, a kind word, or a quiet prayer.
At Saint Francis Parish and Outreach, our doors and our hearts are open to you. Come as you are, and let us be bound together in love.
