PRAYER MOMENT

GREATER THINGS
Pause. Enter into
the depths of your own stillness
Reading. “You
believe just because I said, I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater
things than that.” (John 1:45-51)
Reflection. Nathaniel,
aka Bartholomew (Bart) was astonished when Jesus showed he already knew him
before he called him. And when he expressed his belief Jesus said the words
quoted above to him, “You believe
because I said, I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than
that.” Traditional physics says that the whole is the sum of its parts. A
bicycle is no more than all its parts put together. But quantum physics now
says, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Nature has an energy that
is always building and creating. It is not a machine but a living whole, always
evolving. Our Christian faith and our scientific research are no longer hostile
to each other. They walk together.
Prayer. Lord, you
are ever active in our world and in my life. I praise you and thank you this
day. Lead me to a deep sense of the energy in all things and to see in them
your presence and reflection. Amen
