WALKING UP AND DOWN

PRAYER PAUSE

WALKING UP AND DOWN

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “It was winter and Jesus was walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon.” (John 10:22-30)

Reflection. Those who attended Karl Rahner’s lectures say his habit was to walk back and forth in the lecture hall without looking at the students, intent only on thinking out what he was saying. Jesus, too, pondered, as he walked to and fro, how things had gone and what he would do next. When he does speak it is about knowledge and ends with the astonishing statement, “The Father and I are one.” We ponder Jesus pondering and seek to ponder deeply too.

Prayer. Lord, help us to create space to ponder; to weight the events of our life in the light of your life and words. Amen
