THE STONE REJECTED

PRAYER MOMENT


Friday 26 February 2016   


THE STONE REJECTED


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “It was the stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone. This is the Lord’s doing and it is wonderful to see.” (Matt2:33-46)


Reflection. This story of the vineyard is coupled with the one about Joseph, the dreamer, rejected by his brothers, which we read today, a Friday in Lent preparing us for Good Friday. The people rejected Jesus who came from God and we go on rejecting dreamers or anyone or anything that comes near to threaten our “space”. We hold on dearly to what we consider is our way of thinking, our way of life. Even if we think we are free rational people we still spontaneously sift out intrusive thoughts or people that threaten our comfort.  


Prayer. Lord, give us open minds and hearts to welcome your coming in whoever of whatever approaches us.  Amen.
