PRAYER PAUSE

THROUGH HIM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “That is why it is ‘through him’ that
we answer ‘Amen’ to the praise of God,”
(1 Cor.1: 18-22).
Reflection. In our passage from Matthew today
(5:13-16) we notice the tense. “You are
the salt of the earth; you are the
light of the world.” It is not “you will be” once you have become holy or have
finished the foramation I am giving you. To know Jesus at all immediately
prompts a change in us. To meet him poses a question. The opening chapter in Mark
has the word ‘immediately’ eleven times
If you meet Jesus things begin to happen. That was the experience of the
first disciples. And it poses a question to us today. Do I allow myself to be met
by him? Or do I just rush on with my life, always in control of all that I do?
Prayer. Lord, help us to live “through you”
in all things. Amen
