Second day

Read II Corinthians, 5, 18-20: God reconciled us with Himself.  Be reconciled!

God's initiative of reconciliation

	Not a human project
	Not an effort or labour on our part

IT IS INITIATIVE OF GOD

Jesus reveals to us, not a God in judgement, but a RECONCILING God.

	He does not want men to live in permanent conflict.
	He defeats evil with good
	He is UNCONDITIONAL love: It is not a pact It is not a negotiation

 (Read Romans 5, 8 and 5, 10)

Reconciliation is:

	The destruction of injustice
	The offering of pardon

It is not indifference on the part of God towards sin, NO:

	He has come to take away of the sin of the world
	He asks us to love our enemies
	Forgive 70 times  seven, it is the offering of an unlimited pardon: always.

Reconciliation with God makes possible reconciliation between men, it requires it.

	If God accepts us, we all can accept
	Christ is our peace: he has made the two peoples ONE.
	It is not possible to live as sons without making the effort to live as brothers

Now read slowly: Matthew, 5, 23-24: "Leave the offering and become reconciled".

Conclusion

After reflecting upon all these ideas, try and pray.

Then write down the sentiments that spring from your soul.

(Make your final prayers as always)
