INVITE THE POOR

PRAYER PAUSE


Monday 31 October 2016


INVITE THE POOR


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “When you give a dinner invite the poor.” (Luke 14:12-14)



Reflection. The migrant “crisis” invites us to consider anew the way in which God draws us to himself. He invites us to expand our capacity to receive him and this means learning to expand our capacity to welcome our brothers and sisters where ever they are. The migrants ask us once again, “Who is my neighbour?” There are quiet stories in the media of people who are leaving their comfort to reach out to others.
.

Prayer. Lord, help us to reach out beyond the familiar and “safe” to others who ask us to open our hearts to them Amen
