PRAYER PAUSE
Saturday 22 October 2016, John Paul
II
A SHARE OF
GRACE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Each one of us has been given his
own share of grace.” (Ephesians 4:7-16)
Reflection. Ignatius of Loyola was always acutely
curious when he met someone to discover their character and gifts. We would say
he was deeply interested in people. As a result he helped them discover things
they never knew. Francis Xavier used to read his letters, when they reached him
in Japan, with intense emotion for he knew that it was Ignatius who had opened
up Francis’ life and helped him become who he became. And it is true of each of
us. We all have amazing gifts but so often they are covered up. Others can
reveal them to us and we can help them discover theirs.
Prayer. Lord, help
us rejoice in the gifts you give to others and may we help them discover them
and be open to them revealing ours to us. Amen
