PRAYER MOMENT
Wednesday 19 June 2013
IN SECRET
Pause. Be still
and enter into your own depths.
Reading. “Be
careful not to parade your good deeds. Your left hand must not know what your
right is doing.” (Matt 6:1-6, 16-18)
Reflection. Yesterday
I saw billboard for the latest mobile phone announcing: I LIVE IN THE MOMENT. I
CONNECT WITH THE WORLD. I drove on wondering, “whose moment? Whose world?” The
pressure is on to draw us out of ourselves into a race to conform to the latest
fashion “out there.” It is a compulsion that robs me of my inner space, my
sense of ownership of who I am and my joy of living in the present.
Prayer. Lord
Jesus, you called me to act, pray and give alms in secret. You know how I’d
love people to know what a great guy I am. Help me to let go of all that
garbage and enter into the joy of my own being where you are. Amen.
