TO LISTEN LIKE A DISCIPLE

PRAYER MOMENT


Wednesday 23 March 2016   


TO LISTEN LIKE A DISCIPLE


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Each morning he wakes me to hear, to listen like a disciple. The Lord has opened my ear.” (Isaiah 50:4-9)


Reflection. This servant song speaks of the sufferings the Lord will endure, and how he will set his face “like flint.” But for today the focus settles on Judas and his act of betrayal. We scapegoat Judas and place on him all the evil we imagine we would never do. Yet we are uneasy. There is a bit of Judas in us. The servant is led like a disciple. He learns even by ways of suffering and betrayal. The events of this week are not outside of us. They are our experience and we are called to learn, like a disciple.


Prayer. Lord, may we learn through your Passion to bear all things and never lose our peace and our joy. Amen
