I HAVE COME
TO COMPLETE THEM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Do not imagine that I have come to
abolish the Law and the Prophets. I
have come not to abolish but to complete them.” (Matthew 5:17-19)
Reflection. Jesus came to fulfil the longings of
Israel – an Israel that knew how broken a people it had been but who had remained
faithful in a small remnant. Jesus has come to fulfill the longings of people
everywhere who in their traditions searched for meaning and a relationship with
the God whom they sensed had created all things. And Jesus comes to each one of
us to fulfil the longings of our own hearts as contained in our muddled
aspirations and our efforts to be true to the gifts we have each received.
Prayer. Lord, help us to be in touch with what
is deepest in our hearts and hekp us to listen and be true to it. Amen
