PRAYER MOMENT
Thursday
6 August 2015, The Transfiguration
SON
OF MAN
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “And I saw coming on the clouds
of heaven one like a son of man.” (Daniel 7:1…14)
Reflection. Jesus reveals himself for
moment on the mountain to three of his
disciples as God had done to Moses on Sinai. Three of the gospels tells us this
though fo John his wole gospel is a revelation
of the one who came to “dwell amongst us.” As an accompanying text we read
Daniel and the appearance of the mysterious “son of man.” This title of the “human
one” would be the preferred way of Jesus to describe imself and in it we see
the One who stands at the centre of all history> Everything takes its
meaning from him and in him is the fulfilment of all our striving. When asked by
a journalist what Jesus meant to him, Pedro Arrupe, said, “Everything; he means
everything to me.”
Prayer. Lord, you are the one who
fulfils all our hopes Help us to centre our lives in you. Amen.
