MANY DREW
BACK
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “After this many of his disciples
drew back and no longer walked with him.” (John 6:60-69)
Reflection. The Church, with all its pock marks,
is a leaven. There are swarths of good people doing the best they can who do not
affiliate to the Church and they might well reject the belief that the Church
has been a light, often murky, through the ages. Many can’t take her moral, or
even her sacramental, teaching – as here in John at the beginning. Yet it seems
to me the Church is a hearth, a light. a leaven, for the nations and that she
has, and will continue to have, an influence on the human family and our task
is to stoke that centre which gives light to the world.
Prayer. Lord, we too sometimes feel like “drawing
back.” Help us to see our calling to be men and women for others. Amen
