NOTHING LIKE
THIS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Nothing like this has ever been
seen in Israel.” (Matt 9:32-38)
Reflection. Jesus cured a dumb demoniac and the
people were amazed. Something new was afoot that had never been seen before.
Great hope was aroused. But then Jesus was arrested, tortured and killed.
Disillusionment and confusion set in. Then they were told he had risen. What
did it mean? Now new hope was aroused but this time of a sort that touched their
lives more deeply. They too might have to suffer but they realised that now
there was a breakthrough. Nothing like this had ever been seen before. And so
it is with us. We experience amazement and disillusion, hope and confusion. All
the time we come closer to a solid grounding in faith.
Prayer. Lord, build within us a solid
foundation of faith. Amen
