HEARD THIS
WITH DELIGHT
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The great majoriy of the people
heard his with delight.” (Mark 12:35-37).
Reflection. It is a bit enigmatic what it was
that filled the people with delight. Jesus had simply quoted psalm 110, “The
Lord said to my Lord, ‘sit at my right.’” It struck a chord with the people: some
inchohate sense they had from their long tradituion - that the Messiah would
come from God and would be somehow one with God. The people were delighted
because “one of us” is seated on the throne of God. It stretched their
imagination and their yearning and made them somehow feel they were part of the
household of God. Their daily trials fell away in comparison and they were delighted.
Prayer. Lord, may we live in delight as we
grasp your cloeness to usyou’re your desire to fill the mpty spaces inour lives
with your life and love. Amen
