THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY SEA

PRAYER PAUSE

Friday 22 April 2016   

THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY SEA

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea.” (Rev 21:1-5)

Reflection. We have a feast of Mary today and we are given her standing by the cross. The scene expands in our imagination to take in all the implications of God’s intervention in our history. The cross will bear fruit, bringing about a new creation and we can now glimpse it happening in our midst. All the struggles we daily encounter and all the struggles of our contemporaries are acts in the great work to bring about this new creation. And God is with us and Mary stands with us interceding and working with us.

Prayer. Lord, may we live in hope and joy in the knowledge that you work with us in building something new. Amen
