Our relationships are our real treasure

Morning: Psalms 24, 29: Job 38:1, 18-41; Revelation 18:1-8

Evening: Psalms 8, 84; Matthew 5:21-26

Reconciliation is the heart of faith.  St. Paul writes: “In Christ, God (is) reconciling the world to God’s self.” Right relationships – with one another, the earth, all its creatures, ourselves and God – must surely be a key objective for a life. As a chaplain, you are with a lot of people at the end of their lives – most, if not all, think nothing is more important than their relationships with those they love or those from who they are estranged.  Their main priority is always to be reconciled in their relationships before they die.  Better to do it sooner!
