RULER OF EVERYTHING

PRAYER PAUSE


Saturday 15 October 2016, Teresa of Avila


RULER OF EVERYTHING


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “He has put all things under his feet, and made him, as ruler of everything, head of the Church; which is his body, the fullness of him who fills the whole universe.” (Ephesians 1:15-23)



Reflection. Ancient Orthodox icons of Christ “Pantocrator” – ruler of all – are full of dignity and transcendence. This letter to the Christians of Ephesus, especially in the first chapter, gives us this sweep of the whole plan of God; everything will be brought to its fullness in Christ Jesus and through him. It is an awesome vision that gives the whole picture to our little lives - as they seem to us. We are each the detail in a huge rich fabric that is God’s work in his Son

 
Prayer. Lord, may we keep in mind the overall picture of your great plan for humanity and all creation, and not get lost in our selfish concerns. Amen
