PRAYER MOMENT
Wednesday 24 July 2013
IMAGINE A SOWER.
Pause. Bring to
mind that you are in the presence of the Trinity.
Reading. “Imagine
a sower going out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the pah ….”
(Matt 13:1-9)
Reflection. From
his own experience growing up in Galilee and helping in the fields Jesus
constructs this picture of proclaiming the reign of God. The seed can fall on
the edge of the path, on the rocks, among thorns or in good soil. It is a clear
image of how God’s word, God’s Word, is received. Perhaps we are not to dismiss
the first three completely. For example, someone’s life might be barren like a
rock or full of thorny problem but they might still be able to find a space to
receive the Good News.
Prayer. Lord, help
me to be open to receive your word not only when I am paying attention to you
and am in peace, but also in difficult times when I am feeling barren and
confused.
