PRAYER PAUSE
Tuesday 8 November 2016
THE
APPEARING
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “while we are waiting in hope for
the blessing that will come with the Appearing of the glory of our great God
and saviour Christ Jesus.” Titus 2:11-14)
Reflection. While searching for an appropriate
second reading for the Mass on Christmas night the people in Rome chose this
one. He made his appearance in Bethlehem and we celebrate that in six weeks.
But the early church of the letter to Titus was conscious we are waiting for
his second and final appearance. But, before that happens, he makes his
appearance every moment and in every place. Our joy is to notice - and to
welcome his coming. “Have you not heard his silent steps? He comes, comes, ever
comes. Every moment and every age, every day and every night, he comes, ever
comes …” (Tagore)
Prayer. Lord, may
we be awake to your footsteps as you come to us every moment and every hour.. Amen
