THE
FOOTSTEPS OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The footsteps of those who bring
good news are a welcome sound.” (Romans 10:9ff)
Reflection. Entering deeply into the good news is
a personal journey but it is also a communal one. As reports reach us of the
mood behind the words of the recent Jesuit general meeting in Rome it becomes
clear that struggled with this tension. How we want an answer to our question, “What
should I do?” And yet we know we must make up our own mind. But then again we
want help from others; we want to discern with them. Jesus chose his helpers
and gave them the task proclaiming the good news. What happens then is a
personal – but also a collaborative – process.
Prayer. Lord, we
give thanks for Andrew and the countless people who have “proclaimed” the good
news to us. But then help us to make our choices. Amen.
