HE PUT HIS ARMS
AROUND THEM
Pause. Be still
and in the presence.
Reading. “He
put his arms round them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.” (Mark
10:13-16)
Reflection. The
word ‘God’ triggers different meanings and messages to different people. Some
see him as a distant managing director; others as a demanding boss. Jesus came
to reveal who God really is. He is a God of tenderness and compassion longing
to gather his people into his father’s house. And all that is needed to enter
that house is to have the simplicity and uncomplicatedness of a child.
Prayer. I pray
for the openness to life that a child shows; that simple expectancy and wonder,
that trust and uncalculating readiness to relate, that desire to love and be
loved. Amen..
