This weeks readings and question of the week: 
Take time to mediate on God's word and prepare for worship this Sunday.  And as you meditate on them, consider the  Question of the Week:   
Is there a person or situation in my life through which God is calling me to embrace Jesus' revolutionary invitation to transform the world by love?

 
 Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18
Psalm 103:1--4, 8-12-131 Corinthians 3:16-23
Matthew 5:38-48


Bless the LORD, O my soul;
and all my being, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.

He pardons all your iniquities,
heals all your ills.
He redeems your life from destruction,
crowns you with kindness and compassion.

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
Not according to our sins does he deal with us,
nor does he requite us according to our crimes
.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

God's mercy is the cause, the removal of sin the result. The two are commensurate, and are "described by the largest measures which the earth can afford."
