PRAYER PAUSE (A change of name!)

WHY ARE YOU
PERSECUTING ME?
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: He heard a voice saying, “Saul,
Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:1-20)
Reflection. There are many conversions in the
story of the early Church and Saul of Tarsus is the most famous of them. We
know he was hostile to the “followers of the Way” and he was ready to take violent
means to destroy them. Then comes this sudden “light all around him.” His eyes are opened and he sees clearly. He
goes on to become a light to the gentiles as Simeon had foretold Jesus would
be. Our own journey of conversion is less dramatic but calls us each day to
open our eyes to see how God is at work in our complex modern world.
Prayer. Lord, open our eyes too to see you
in the culture and politics of our age. Amen
