PRAYER PAUSE
Wednesday 11 October 2017, John
XXIII
YOUR
KINGDOM COME
Pause. Enter into the stillness
of God within.
Reading: “Father, may your name be
held holy, your kingdom come.” (Luke 11:1-4)
Reflection. Luke’s short version of the Our Father highlights the coming
kingdom. Longing for the appearance of the kingdom shows itself in welcoming
every sign of it, every little bud. When young people at school settle their
differences, when people in work places sort out their problems, when
politicans manage to come to reconciliation and nations to international
accords – all these are signs of the kingdom. The Church is to be salt and
light and each of us has our task. The kingdom of the Father will come when we
lay hold of it, take it by storm. That is the burning desire of Jesus.
Prayer. Our Father, may your name
be held holy, your kingdom come. Amen.
