YOUR KINGDOM

PRAYER PAUSE


Thursday 16 June 2016  


YOUR KINGDOM


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Our Father in heaven, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.” (Matt 6:7-15)


Reflection. Can we hold in our consciousness for moment that simple concept: your kingdom? Words fail, but we hold on to the ideal of a world filled with the knowledge of God; of compassion, patience, love. In the book of Ben Sira today (Ch. 48) we have the fire and zeal and struggle of Elijah to remind the people of God. And in so many places today people struggle to live by truth and compassion for others. Paul speaks of one great act of giving birth. Cars roar outside my window all day as people go about their business. That business is a mixture of the values of the kingdom and other values. The struggle continues.


Prayer. Lord, may your kingdom come, your will be done! Amen
