Restitution and Restoration is Part of Repentance
18th June 2024
11th Week
Ordinary Time
Tuesday
1Kings 21:17-29
Meditation
God was furious at the greed
of Ahab and Jezebel his wife. The Lord wants to punish them but at the
humility of Ahab and the penance he undertook, the Lord assured the punishment
will not be in his days but in the generations to come. God is just in
punishing and rewarding.
Trespasses are to be
punished and due reparation has to be done for purification and justification
in the sight of God. One has to remember that due restitution had to be done to the harm caused to the weak and vulnerable. One has to take
note and take responsibility for the damage done to innocent.
Are we aware that good
repentance and renewal calls for restitution and restoration?
