PRAYER MOMENT

THE LAST WILL BE FIRST

Pause. Be still in the presence of God.

Reading. “Many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Mark 10:28-31)      

Reflection. Jesus jolts us into looking again at the person we may quickly pass by. Here is Innocente, a girl disabled physically and intellectually from birth. She lies on a West African floor for 16 years. She has a smile that makes you pause and wonder; it is a window into another world.  .   

Prayer. Teach us to see each person with rinsed eyes. Help us to go beyond appearances. Lead us to rejoice in each of your people.Amen
