PRAYER PAUSE
Saturday 11 June
2016, St Barnabas
CLOSE AT
HAND
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “As you go, proclaim that the kingdom
of God is close at hand.” (Matt 10 :7-13)
Reflection. Today we bury a 94 year old Slovenian
Jesuit who was a priest for 70 years. His life story is one long bustle, on
remote dry missions and in the growing busyness of town. Essentials have not changed
since the time of Barnabas who moved around as a companion of Paul. In the
gospel today we read of his urgency in announcing the kingdom of God in word
and act, and that too remains our task today so that all comes to dazzle in the
touch of the Spirit.
Prayer. Lord, may your kingdom come through
all that we do in response to the Spirit who dwells in us. Amen
