I HAVE COME TO COMPLETE THEM

PRAYER PAUSE

I HAVE COME TO COMPLETE THEM


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law and the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them.” (Matthew 5:17-19)



Reflection. Jesus came to fulfil the longings of Israel – an Israel that knew how broken a people it had been but who had remained faithful in a small remnant. Jesus has come to fulfill the longings of people everywhere who in their traditions searched for meaning and a relationship with the God whom they sensed had created all things. And Jesus comes to each one of us to fulfil the longings of our own hearts as contained in our muddled aspirations and our efforts to be true to the gifts we have each received.  


Prayer. Lord, help us to be in touch with what is deepest in our hearts and hekp us to listen and be true to it. Amen
