YOUR KINGDOM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Our Father in heaven, may your name
be held holy, your kingdom come.” (Matt 6:7-15)
Reflection. Can we hold in our consciousness for
moment that simple concept: your kingdom? Words fail, but we hold on to the
ideal of a world filled with the knowledge of God; of compassion, patience,
love. In the book of Ben Sira today (Ch. 48) we have the fire and zeal and
struggle of Elijah to remind the people of God. And in so many places today people
struggle to live by truth and compassion for others. Paul speaks of one great
act of giving birth. Cars roar outside my window all day as people go about
their business. That business is a mixture of the values of the kingdom and
other values. The struggle continues.
Prayer. Lord, may your kingdom come, your
will be done! Amen
