PRAYER MOMENT

A TIME OF DECISION
Pause. Be still
and “know that I am God”.
Reading. “I have
come to set a person against his father … and mother.” (Matt 10:34-11:1)
Reflection. We
have reached the end of Ch.10 in Matthew. Jesus has been instructing his disciples.
Now he asks for a decision. Are you with me, with all the consequences this
might bring for you, even in your family relationships? Or are are you going to
go your own way? To decide for Jesus has consequences. It may mean confronting
someone I love. It may mean abandoning a cherished position I have held for a
long time. The call to conversion is insistent and on-going and calls us each
day to make decisions – sometimes difficult ones.
Prayer. Lord, I
hear your words about choices. I know you call me to a fuller life. But I am
weak and find it hard to move. Help me in my weakness to say and do what I know
in my heart I am called to – even when it is difficult. Amen.
