IT WILL BE
GIVEN TO YOU
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Do not worry about how to speak or
what to say; what you are to say will be given to you when the time comes.” (Matt
10:16-23)
Reflection. Our faith is not a mild thing, a
comfort in the background. It is full of force and energy and confidence. We
see this in the urgent words of Jesus’ “they will drag you before governors and
kings … but do not worry about how to speak or what to say.” These words imply
a union with Jesus which is always present. But are these words only for
dramatic moments? How many of us have such moments when we are “dragged before
governors”? But there are moments of confrontation, moments when we have a
choice to engage or to run away. At these moments too we can develop a habit of
attention to what “will be given to you when the time comes.”
Prayer. Lord, may grow in our attention to
your Spirit always in our heart. Amen
