PRAYER PAUSE

THE SUPREME
ADVANTAGE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Nothing can happen that will outweigh
the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:3-8)
Reflection. Paul discounts all his qualifications
as a Jew and a Pharisee in comparison to his coming to know Jesus. He has such
a personal and passionate love for the Lord that everything else falls away in
significance. The late Pedro Arrupe was once asked what Jesus Christ meant for
him. He hardly hesitated before replying, “Everything! Jesus is everything to
me.” That personal bond is not just a security but a springboard in our lives.
It energizes us each day and gives us power and imagination to engage.
Prayer. Lord, may
we know you and enjoy the energy you give us through this knowledge to engage
with our sisters and brothers each day. Amen
