PRAYER PAUSE

DEEP WITHIN
THEM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Deep within them I will plant my
law, writing it on their hearts.” (Jer 31:31-34)
Reflection. This passage from Jeremiah – easy to
remember 31:31 – is the high point of the Old Testament. At last God’s purpose
can be revealed: His plan is to enter into a deep communion with his people as
soon as they are able to receive this new relationship. They had been like
children growing up for centuries. But the time of maturity was at hand when
they would be able to welcome the full promise and impact of the covenants. Jesus
would reveal this fully through the new community he was to found.
Prayer. Lord, help
us to hear your offer of a deep relationship with you. May be have the grace to
receive it! Amen
