NOR QUENCH
THE WAVERING FLAME
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “He
does not make his voice heard in the streets. He does not break the crushed
reed, nor quench the wavering flame.” (Isaiah 42:1-7)
Reflection. For three days we read the “suffering
servant” songs in Isaiah. Jesus suffered. He suffered with us. He suffered in
us. He does not disregard the least of our suffering. We may be broken and
wavering but he is with us. He transforms each of us and all creation from
within. To use a parable from medicine he enables our immune system to work; by
freeing us from the “viruses” that would destroy us he opens the way for our
real destiny; life with God. Holy Week does not happen “out there. It happens
within each one of us if only we allow the “immune” system space to operate.
Prayer. Lord, help us to enter into the sufferings
of Jesus as he enters into ours. Amen
