PRAYER PAUSE

THE WHOLE
FAMILY CELEBRATED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “And the whole family celebrated thei
conversion to belief I God.” (Acts 16:21-34).
Reflection. Paul and Silas’ endurance under
suffering inspires their jailer and his family to believe. Throughout Acts we
meet this moment of choice: believe or refuse to believe. And belief carries
with it suffering, but it also gives meaning to suffering. A person becomes
more themself, more human, by the way theyface the trials. Jesus shows the away.
It has been said, ”the theology of hope has as its hard core theology of the
Cross. The Cross of Christ is the presently given form of the kingdom of God on
earth. Everything else is dreams, fantasies and mere wish images.”
Prayer. Lord, may your Spirit help us to
receive your Cross. Amen.
