THE TWO BECOME ONE

PRAYER PAUSE


Friday 20 May 2016   


THE TWO BECOME ONE


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “God made them male and female … the two become one.” (Mark 10:1-12)  


Reflection. At the heart of creation we find marriage. It is not simply a device for procreation to perpetuate the tribe. It is that, but in the revelation of the Son of God, the union of man and woman is a sign of humanity coming together as one. The successes and failures of our marriages mirror the successes and failures of our journey towards union or communion as God’s people. And reaching towards union, which married people have to do every day, is a sign of our reaching out to God and journey towards a complete union with God, a journey we have long since begun.     


Prayer. Lord, may we all be one as you and the Father are one. Amen.
