HAPPY SHALL
THEY BE WHO SEE YOU
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Happy shall they be who see you.
and those who have fallen asleep in love.” (Sirah 48:1…11)
Reflection. The Old Testament continues to
burnish the hope of Israel. Here it celebrates the ministry of Elijah who “was
taken up in a chariot of fire.” The drama of the OT will now be fulfilled in
the ministry of John the Baptist, who prepares the way for the One who
announces the reign of God in his silent coming, “like dewfall,” his forceful
but gentle ministry, his rejection, death and resurrection. Our joy is to see
him coming in a thousand ways in our lives and in his eventual definitive coming
at the end.
Prayer. Lord, may we know the happiness of
your coming into our lives each day. Amen.
