MANY DREW BACK

PRAYER PAUSE (A change of name!)


Saturday 16 April 2016   


MANY DREW BACK


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer walked with him.” (John 6:60-69)


Reflection. The Church, with all its pock marks, is a leaven. There are swarths of good people doing the best they can who do not affiliate to the Church and they might well reject the belief that the Church has been a light, often murky, through the ages. Many can’t take her moral, or even her sacramental, teaching – as here in John at the beginning. Yet it seems to me the Church is a hearth, a light. a leaven, for the nations and that she has, and will continue to have, an influence on the human family and our task is to stoke that centre which gives light to the world.    


Prayer. Lord, we too sometimes feel like “drawing back.” Help us to see our calling to be men and women for others. Amen
