NOW IS THE FAVOURABLE TIME

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “As God’s fellow workers, we beg you once more not to neglect the grace of God that you have received. …  Now is the favourable time.” (2 Cor. 6:1-10)

Reflection. “Many a flower was born to bloom unseen and waste its perfume on the desert air.” And many a grace was offered silently and, unnoticed, passed by forever. The world and every moment is charged with opportunity. We hurry to our offices, our work places and our kitchens. Countless moments of creativity, generosity and kindness meet us along the way. Sometimes we strectch out and grasp them. Sometimes we let them pass by. We don’t have to beat our breast for lost opportunities. That is unhealthy. But we do need humbly attend the “the favourable time” that comes to meet us every day and every moment.  

Prayer. Lord, help us reach out to the grace you offer us each moment. Help us to “stay awake.” Amen.
