Genesis 45:1-15

In this second part of two, Fr. Allen continues to explore the Providence of God as revealed in the amazing Joseph story.  Last week the theme was "honesty regarding our dreams and goals;" this week honesty is again a keyword but also "courage," the courage to face ourselves: our wounded selves, those we've wounded and the God who through a radical, honest appraisal, accepts us and calls us to work for reconciliation even towards those who have hurt us.  It's a bracing task and not one we could possibly manage without God or without the spiritual support of our fellow travelers.
