PRAYER MOMENT
Friday 28 June 2013
OF COURSE I WANT TO CURE YOU
Pause. Take a moment
to be still in the presence of God.
Reading. “If you
want to you can cure me … of course I want to! Be cured.” (Matt 8:1-4)
Reflection. The
whole thrust of the mission of Jesus is to announce the reign of God. Of course
he wants o heal and raise us up. It is St Irenaeus’ feast today and he wrote in
about 180, “He who did this is the Word of God, who dwelt in man
and became son of man in order to accustom man to receive God and accustom God
to dwell in man.”
Prayer. Lord,
help me to “grow accustomed” each day to your presence in my life so that I can
believe that, “of course” you want to raise all your people and all creation to
share your life. Amen.
