PRAYER PAUSE
Saturday 11 November 2017, Martin
MY
GREETINGS!
Pause. Enter into the stillness
of God within.
Reading: “Greetings to Prisca and
Aquila, my fellow workers on Christ Jesus” (Romans 16:1-8)
Reflection. Our last exerpt from Romans
is a list of greetings to all those in Rome whom Paul knew and worked with.
There is a warm bond of affection he has discovered and enjoyed over many years
with these “fellow workers”. They are his new family, reminding us of Jesus’ reaction
to those who told him “Your mother and brothers are looking for you.” He replied,
“Who are they? My mothers and brothers are these who are doing the will of my Father.”
They are bonded with me “in the revelation of a mystery kept secret for endless
ages but now clear … and it is to be broadcast to bring all to the obedience of
faith.”
Prayer.
Lord, we give thanks for all those who journey with us in faith and for the way
we share our interests, hopes and disappointments. Give us joy and courage as
we continue on the road. Amen.
