BEST
IN WEAKNESS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “My grace is enough for you:
my power is at its best in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:1-10)
Reflection. This is one of those upsidedown
sayings of the New Testament. It is
hard to imagine President Obama or any president saying, ‘my power is at its
best in weakness.’ Yet Paul says it deliberately at the end of a passage where
he recounts the many favours and blessiings he has received. It is actually a
tough saying and a saving one too. Think of any example: Mother Teresa was
diminutive Albanian lady with no resources. Yet in a few years she set up a world
wide movement to reach out to the poor and the abandoned. People living with
severe intellectual disabilities have a power, given the right circumstances,
to transform the lives of those who live with them.
Prayer. Lord, help us to know the
power of weakness. What does this mean in my life. Amen.
