IN A LTTLE WHILE

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “In a little while you will see me no longer, and then in a little while you will see me again.” (John 16:16-20).  

Reflection. No wonder the disciples were perplexed! What did Jesus mean? But we know well enough that life is a process. You take marriage, priestly or religious vows on a certain day but what happens next is a process of discovery. What have I committed myself to? It is not all clear on day one. Hopefully it will be a joyful journey. And so it is with Zimbabwe or any country. We haul down the British flag on 18 April 1980 but that does not give us anything more than the beginning of freedom. We have to live out the gift, the commitment. We are finding this tough going but perhaps “in a lttle whiule” we will get there.

Prayer. Lord, help us to be steady and joyful in our journey to freedom. Amen.
