THE FOOTSTEPS OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS

PRAYER PAUSE


Wednesday 30 November 2016, Andrew


THE FOOTSTEPS OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “The footsteps of those who bring good news are a welcome sound.” (Romans 10:9ff)


Reflection. Entering deeply into the good news is a personal journey but it is also a communal one. As reports reach us of the mood behind the words of the recent Jesuit general meeting in Rome it becomes clear that struggled with this tension. How we want an answer to our question, “What should I do?” And yet we know we must make up our own mind. But then again we want help from others; we want to discern with them. Jesus chose his helpers and gave them the task proclaiming the good news. What happens then is a personal – but also a collaborative – process.


Prayer. Lord, we give thanks for Andrew and the countless people who have “proclaimed” the good news to us. But then help us to make our choices. Amen.
