PRAYER MOMENT

TURN BACK
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “As by your will you first strayed
from God, so now turn back and search for him.” (Baruch 4:5…29)
Reflection. These words evoke a constant theme in
the Hebrew scriptures and in the story of the Church – and the world. We take a
wrong road and we soon discover it leads nowhere. We turn back and search for
the right one. It is now clear that the “war on terror” in the last fifteen
years has been full of uniformed strategies. Now we scramble for new
approaches. It is a constant theme in the world and in our own journeys. We ask
for the courage to constantly “turn back” to our original sources of
inspiration and begin again and again.
Prayer. Lord, we ask for the courage to
admit it when we take a wrong turning. Help us to turn back and meet you coming
towards us on another route. Amen.
