HE SUBMITTED SO HUMBLY

PRAYER PAUSE 


Thursday 15 September 2016. Our Lady of Sorrows


HE SUBMITTED SO HUMBLY


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “And he submitted so humbly that his prayer was heard.” (Hebrews 5:7-9)



Reflection. The day after the remembrance of the cross we think of Mary standing by it. What went on in her heart? She saw her Son submitting to all that human sin could do to him and she joined in his submission.. Human power thirsts to dominate. Divine power breaks that human power by submitting and holding to truth in such a way that human power can do no more and crumbles. We join the sorrow with the victory. Submission is not weakness. It is delayed victory. Can we see this a t work in oour own relationships?

Prayer. Lord, help us to know that humble submission is not weakness but strength and the victory of truth. Amen
