PRAYER MOMENT
Wednesday
25 March 2015, God becomes human for us
THIS
IS MY BODY
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The Lord Jesus took some bread,
and after he had given thanks, be broke it and he said, ‘This is my body which
is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’” (1 Cor 11:24)
Reflection. We interrupt the build up to
the Passion for a moment to celebrate the Annunciation to Mary that she would be
the Mother of the Lord who would take flesh in her womb. God takes a human body
in order to be like us in everything and to enter into all the joys and sorrows
of human life as we do. His mission from the Father was ‘regime change,’ to
announce a reign that would lift up humanity forever. But to do that he had to
embrace humanity with all its pain and struggle against evil. His body would be
broken on the cross but, being who he
is, he broke through this death to be he first born into the new lie that is
offered to us all.
Prayer. Lord, you said, ‘this is my
body given for you.’ We thank you for this way in which you open up life and
love to us. Amen.
