PRAYER PAUSE
Saturday 15 October 2016, Teresa of
Avila
RULER OF
EVERYTHING
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “He has put all things under his
feet, and made him, as ruler of everything, head of the Church; which is his
body, the fullness of him who fills the whole universe.” (Ephesians 1:15-23)
Reflection. Ancient Orthodox icons of Christ “Pantocrator”
– ruler of all – are full of dignity and transcendence. This letter to the
Christians of Ephesus, especially in the first chapter, gives us this sweep of
the whole plan of God; everything will be brought to its fullness in Christ
Jesus and through him. It is an awesome vision that gives the whole picture to
our little lives - as they seem to us. We are each the detail in a huge rich
fabric that is God’s work in his Son
Prayer. Lord, may
we keep in mind the overall picture of your great plan for humanity and all creation,
and not get lost in our selfish concerns. Amen
