PRAYER PAUSE

THE SPIRIT
OF JESUS WOULD NOT ALLOW
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “ They thought to cross into
Bithinia but as the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them, they went through
Mysia and came down to Troas.” (Acts 16:1-10).
Reflection. Are we aware of the Spirit of Jesus
directing us in all that we do each day? It is the gift of our baptism. We are
to clear the ground by our attentiveness
and self-control. This day last week JohnSulivan was beatified in Dublin – a man
who to a remarkable degree did just that. He emptied his heart to make roon for
the Spiri of Jesus and lived in attentiveness to the Spirit constantly. This is
the gift we celebrate in this Easter time and it is manifested in the life of
the early Church in the joureys of Paul and his companions.
Prayer. Lord, help us to open our hearts
to your Spirit speaking to us. Amen.
