PRAYER MOMENT (For
next four days I will be out of range of internet)
Monday 4 April
2016, The Annunciation (from 25 March)
YOU WILL
BEAR A SON
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Mary, do not be afraid; you have
won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name
him Jesus.” (Luke 1:26-38)
Reflection. Like the recurring circle on a
computer screen our year ends and begins again. We celebrate Easter at the time
of the year when we also celebrate the announcing of the incarnation: “The word
became flesh and dwelt among us.” The seed begins here and flowers at Christmas.
The disciples, and soon thousands, were “dumbfounded” at the resurrection bur
it all begins with Mary dumfounded at the words of Gabriel. The incarnation,
after all, is the incredible foundation of our faith and hope.
Prayer. Lord, help us, with Mary, to wonder
and ponder your love for the world and each one of us. Amen
