Trusting in God

Trusting in God
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Sunday, March 1, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
Those of us with children are probably horrified with the thought of sacrificing one of our children  at the command of anyone (well, there ARE days...), let alone He who we believe is a loving God, but St. Paul reminds us that God also sacrificed His only son for us in order that we could be saved from ourselves. And God had a purpose for Abraham that required Abraham to trust fully in God, since God was going to have him do things that would challenge what Abraham believed was possible, and to give up those things he thought most precious. We too are challenged by God to do things beyond our ability to understand, and to trust in His love and mercy. As we move into this second week of Lent, let us reflect on what we are called to offer to God for His people.
