PRAYER MOMENT

I SHALL
EXULT IN MY PEOPLE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Be glad and rejoice for ever
and ever for what I am creating … I shall rejoice over Jerusalem and exult in
my people.” (Isaiah.65:17-21)
Reflection. We have noted many themes in Lent
that presage the Paschal Mystery of Holy Week. We have seen readings around the
theme of decision followed by calls for prayer and self-denial. More recently
the themes have been on repentance and mercy introducing us to the Passion.
Now, in week four, we come to a glimpse of the joy of the Resurrection. All the
struggles and sufferings of humanity are taken up in the triumph of the cross
when the meaning of history is revealed and God rejoices in his creation.
Prayer. Lord, may we have our eyes glued to
the mystery you are revealing and see the events of our life in this light.
Amen.
