I SHALL BE THERE

PRAYER MOMENT


Wednesday 14 August 2013


I SHALL BE THERE


Pause. Remember you are in the presence of God.


Reading. “For where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there wit them.” (Matt 18:15-20)


Reflection. These words were foundational when 2500 leaders of the Catholic Church met in Rome for the Council 1962-65, and they apply whenever Christians meet in large numbers or in small – just two or three. God revealed himself to Abraham and the patriarchs, then to Moses and the whole people in the desert but today he reveals himself to anyone who meets with others in his name. The recognition of this dimension can help us to be focused in our meetings, which so often stay on the level of thinking out our own solutions without listening to the Spirit of Jesus who is among us.



Prayer. Lord Jesus, help us to pay attention to your presence when we gather in your name. Let it not just be words  but a real sense that you are with us in our discussions and decisions. Amen
