BOYS AND
GIRLS PLAYING
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “And the squares of the city will be
full of boys and girls playing.” (Zechariah 8:1-8)
Reflection. After the prophecies based on the
rebuilding of the temple comes a cascade of Messianic promises about the new
world God will create. Seemingly we can date these words to February 518 BC! So
that makes them written a neat 2500 years ago. The promises take time because
humankind learns slowly to receive the divine imprint. And so it is with us. We
take time to open up our lives to the divine promise. But if we are faithful we
will get there. And what applies to us applies also to the world about which Pope
Francis has had so much to say over these last few days.
Prayer. Lord, we ask for your patience and
that we be encouraged by the vision of the day of your coming. Amen.
