THE STONE
REJECTED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “It was the stone rejected by
the builders that became the keystone. This is the Lord’s doing and it is
wonderful to see.” (Matt2:33-46)
Reflection. This story of the vineyard is coupled
with the one about Joseph, the dreamer, rejected by his brothers, which we read
today, a Friday in Lent preparing us for Good Friday. The people rejected Jesus
who came from God and we go on rejecting dreamers or anyone or anything that
comes near to threaten our “space”. We hold on dearly to what we consider is
our way of thinking, our way of life. Even if we think we are free rational
people we still spontaneously sift out intrusive thoughts or people that threaten
our comfort.
Prayer. Lord, give us open minds and hearts
to welcome your coming in whoever of whatever approaches us. Amen.
