HURRY, COME DOWN

PRAYER PAUSE

HURRY, COME DOWN

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “Zaccheus, come down. Hurry, because I must stay in your house today.” (Luke 19:1-10)

Reflection. This is one more of those colourful scenes in the gospel where Jesus takes the slightest hint of a response from a person and blows it up to become a life changing moment. Zaccheus only wanted a glimpse of Jesus, no strings attached. But that doesn’t work with Jesus. If we get involved – even a little bit – it leads on to great things. People look at us sometimes and hidden in their look there is often a cry for help. Sometimes we notice, sometimes we don’t. Jesus always notices.

Prayer. Lord, teach us the pain and the questions of people we meet. Amen
