PRAYER PAUSE

THE SIGN OF
JONAH
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The only sign this generation will
be given is the sign of Jonah.”
Reflection. “The crowds got bigger than ever.”
People were enthusiastic to see and hear Jesus. But he knows they are not
grasping his message. He calls them a “wicked generation” which seems a bit
harsh but he wanted to wake them up to see they were missing the real meaning of
his mission. The sign of Jonah was the sign of suffering, death and resurrection
and if the hard meaning of this does not penetrate our generation we to will
have missed the point as they did.
Prayer. Lord, help
us to understand the deep meaning of our journey and embrace the cross as it comes
to us in different ways. Amen
