PRAYER PAUSE
Tuesday 31 January 2017, John Bosco
IF I CAN
ONLY TOUCH
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “If I can just touch his cloths,”
she told herself, “I will be well again.” (Mark (5:1-43)
Reflection. This nameless woman draws from
within herself the courage to penetrate through the prejudice, the looks, the
shame and the indifference of those around her to reach out to Jesus, with this
belief in her heart: ‘If I can just touch even his garment, I
will be healed. The incident has been pondered for centuries; the reaching
out of humanity in all its weakness and insecurity towards the divine. Mystics
have called it the breaking through the cloud of unknowing, living in darkness
yet at the same time living in light. It is the essence of our journey to God.
Prayer. Lord, help
us to reach out to you in our prayer and in one another. Amen.
