YOU, HOWEVER

PRAYER MOMENT

Tuesday 23 February 2016, St Polycarp of Smyrna, now Izmir   

YOU, HOWEVER

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “You however, must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one master and you are all brothers.” (Matt 23:1-12)

Reflection. The “breaking in of the kingdom” means that everything from now on is going to be different. Something new is happening in your midst. Be attentive to it. You, of all people, must notice it. Welcome the change that is happening in you and around you. Time is short and we are preparing for the final revelation. So, see the events of today as struggles and sufferings pointing to a new world coming to birth. Look everywhere for the signs and encourage and welcome them. Be part of it. It is all happening today.

Prayer. Lord, may we may we have a sense of our world struggling to come to a new birth. May be give our strength to bring it about. Amen.
