YOU DO NOT
KNOW
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Promise that these two sons
of mine will sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your
kingdom.” “You do not know what you are asking,” answered Jesus.” (Matt 20:17-28)
Reflection. Jesus has been speaking about his
going to Jerusalem and the rejection and suffering he will endure there. It
makes no impact. They are obsessed with what they can get out of this new movement
for themselves. You can sense the sadness in Jesus as he patiently answers the
request. And we have to notice how widespread this attitude is among us today.
So often we are in something with an eye to what we get out of it. This is
bound to be part of the deal but when it becomes the only part we have lost the
plot.
Prayer. Lord, teach me to be generous and
not to count the cost. Amen.
