THE SON OF MAN GLORIFIED

PRAYER MOMENT 


Tuesday 31 March 2015

 THE SON OF MAN GLORIFIED


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Now has the Son of Man been glorified, and in him God has been glorified.” (John 13:21-28)


Reflection. Perhaps it strikes us as strange that Jesus talks of being glorified as he enters his passion. How many patients stretched out on an operating table see this as their moment of glory? We try this week to grasp that Jesus really did see this moment as his hour of achievement. In Mark’s gospel, for instance, he has been saying all along, ‘don’t tell anyone.’ But now in his moment of humiliation before Caiphas he pronounces the divine name, ‘I am.’ Jesus trumphs in his moment of suffering. Ignatius of Loyola struggled through eleven months of spiritual humiliation at Manresa. Later he could see it was the making of him. One way or another that glory invites us.  


Prayer. Lord, let us know your glory and give us some share in it. Amen.
