TO LISTEN
LIKE A DISCIPLE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Each
morning he wakes me to hear, to listen like a disciple. The Lord has opened my
ear.” (Isaiah 50:4-9)
Reflection. This servant song speaks of the
sufferings the Lord will endure, and how he will set his face “like flint.” But
for today the focus settles on Judas and his act of betrayal. We scapegoat
Judas and place on him all the evil we imagine we would never do. Yet we are uneasy.
There is a bit of Judas in us. The servant is led like a disciple. He learns even
by ways of suffering and betrayal. The events of this week are not outside of
us. They are our experience and we are called to learn, like a disciple.
Prayer. Lord, may we learn through your
Passion to bear all things and never lose our peace and our joy. Amen
