HUNG ON HIS WORDS

PRAYER MOMENT


Friday 20 November 2015


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.
