WITH ALL YOUR HEART

PRAYER PAUSE

WITH ALL YOUR HEART


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart.” (Mark 12:28-34).  



Reflection. These familiar words can slip by us. Yet they are at the heart of the Jewish faith and, following on, our Christian faith. Like so much that is familiar we can give them a nod – and pass on. But can we let them sink into our soil? Can we let them replace the easy spontaneities of our lives? Can we make them so meaningful that they penetrate everything we do? That must be the centre of the great mad love affair between God and us.  Otherwise we are just ticking over. Stars stand out in the heavens and gave markers to our ancestors. The stars of today, the great men and women among us, are those madly in love with life.


Prayer. Teach us, Lord, to live the moments of our day with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Amen
