DEEP WITHIN THEM

PRAYER PAUSE


Thursday 4 August 2016, John Vianney  


DEEP WITHIN THEM


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Deep within them I will plant my law, writing it on their hearts.” (Jer 31:31-34)


Reflection. This passage from Jeremiah – easy to remember 31:31 – is the high point of the Old Testament. At last God’s purpose can be revealed: His plan is to enter into a deep communion with his people as soon as they are able to receive this new relationship. They had been like children growing up for centuries. But the time of maturity was at hand when they would be able to welcome the full promise and impact of the covenants. Jesus would reveal this fully through the new community he was to found.  

Prayer. Lord, help us to hear your offer of a deep relationship with you. May be have the grace to receive it! Amen
