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
