THE STONE
REJECTED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “It was the stone rejected by the
builders that became the keystone.” (Mark 12:1-12)
Reflection. A few days ago I was with some
sisters some of whom were from Pakistan. They live in a charged atmosphere where
the Christian faith is under attack, sometimes physically when churches are
burnt and people killed. But they stay. Rejection of the gospel is always with
us and Jesus tells us this in the parable of the vineyard which we read today.
Rejection sharpens us and pushes us to think: what am I doing? Am I on the
right path? Rejection can strengthen us and confirm us. We have to examine it.
Perhaps it is telling us something..
Prayer. Lord, help us to be open. Sometimes
you nudge us in unexpected and painful ways. May we welcome you whatever way
you come. Amen.
