Lent – Week 5

Peter is often all or nothing, either resisting Jesus or drawing closer to him in earnest. In this scripture, we see a version of Peter who is hungry to learn. His posture is humble and open—he wants to absorb Jesus’ teachings like a wet sponge. He asks a question and might expect a straightforward answer: “How many times should I forgive?” Instead, Jesus’ math is not predictable—it’s infinite. Forgiveness is abundant; grace is not earned. In your own faith, do you find comfort in theological formulas? Do you wish for straightforward answers? Can you let go of black-and-white thinking and instead embrace the infinite colors of grace?

Walk for Peace

Gembrook Retreat is joining with Christians around the world in inviting people to join in a prayerful walk for the situation in Gaza.

On Palm Sunday they will be walking from Gembrook to Tecoma and you are welcome to join for a section (between 1km and 7km) or the full length of 27km.

This walk is part of the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage movement during the Christian season of Lent.  https://www.gazaceasefirepilgrimage.com/

The event will also raise money for Palestinian Christians in Australia – to help them welcome Palestinians fleeing Gaza https://chuffed.org/project/gcpnaarm.

We encourage you to determine for yourselves what a walk of peace and prayerful solidarity will mean for you, appreciating that this will be different for different people.

Council are also aware that events such as this risk creating polarised views and us-versus-them attitudes. We are hopeful people enter into this invitation with an openness to hearing, learning and understanding – and ultimately participating prayerfully in the way that best aligns with the movement of Spirit within you as you consider what it means to be people of peace, justice and non-violence.
