MAKES THEM FRIENDS OF GOD

PRAYER MOMENT


Thursday 12 November 2015


MAKES THEM FRIENDS OF GOD


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “In every generation Wisdom passes into holy souls, and makes them friends of God and prophets.” (Wisdom 7:22-8:1)


Reflection. The Book of Wisdom was written on the threshold of the New Testament. It breathes the rich promise of the coming of Jesus and the gift of his Spirit. God will enter his people and live with them, transforming their lives and, though them, the whole of creation. Wisdom is the “reflection of the eternal light and makes all things new.” The gospel today (Luke 17:20-25) tells us, “the kingdom of God is among you.” The gift of wisdom in “holy souls” makes this kingdom flourish. This is God’s gift to you and to me.


Prayer. Lord, we thank you for the gift of your Spirit, your Wisdom, in our lives. Help us to relish this gift and live it each day. Amen.
