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
