HUNG ON HIS
WORDS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The chief priests and the scribes, with
the support of the leading citizens, tried to do away with Jesus, but they did
not see how they could carry this out because the people as a whole hung on his
words.” (Luke 19:45-48)
Reflection. Jesus is approaching the climax of
his life and the clouds of darkness are gathering. Those who could give a lead
in accepting the kingdom of God persistently refuse. Yet the people as a whole
find a meeting place in their hearts between what Jesus is saying and their
deepest longings. So they “hang on his words.” We too are invited to push our
way through the undergrowth of conflicting voices today and come to the resonance
of his words and our hearts’ desires.
Prayer. Lord, help us to hear your words and
let them find their place within us. Amen.
