PRAYER PAUSE
Friday 20 January 2017
WRITTEN ON
THEIR HEARTS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I will put my laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.” (Hebrews 8:6-13)
Reflection. These words of Jeremiah (31:31) are
among the most consoling in the Old Testament. The author of Hebrews recalls
them here to crown his treatment of the self-offering of Jesus, the High Priest,
in which we share. To be attentive to the Spirit is to recognise that God in
some way takes over our life and guides us from within. We are no longer
dependent on guidance from outside alone but something deep has happened within
and we try to accustom ourselves to stay tuned to that each moment.
Prayer. Lord, may
we be attentive to your law written on our hearts. Amen
