OR QUENCH THE WAVERING FLAME

PRAYER MOMENT


Monday 21 March 2016   


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
