PRAYER PAUSE
Friday 2 December 2016
THE EYES OF
THE BLIND WILL SEE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “After the shadow and darkness the
eyes of the blind will see.” (Isaiah 29:17-24)
Reflection. To see is an ever expanding activity.
Yes, we begin with the sheer joy of seeing the world around us. Then we go
deeper and say constantly, “I see”. I said this to myself when I first lived
with people with intellectual disability. I “saw” that they had their own gifts
to share with all of us. But before, I had thought in my darkness that they had
nothing to offer. And so it is with many aspects of modern life. There is a
mind stretching film about to be released called The Silence about an act of apostasy in 17th century
Japan. But there is a deeper theme. And so it goes.
Prayer. Lord, may
we have eyes to see all the unfolding wonder of your creation and may we
respond! Amen.
