ALAS FOR YOU, CHORAZIN!

PRAYER PAUSE        


Tuesday,18 July 2017


ALAS FOR YOU, CHORAZIN!


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Alas for you, Chorazin! For if the signs shown in you had been shone in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago.” (Matthew 11:20-24)



Reflection. There is a weariness in this lament of Jesus. He has tried so hard to announce the good news but the towns of Juda do not listen. This is frighteneing. Opportunities come our way constantly  but somehow we often miss them. The gospel message is always a call to alertness  - sensitivity to signs and moments where people call to us and often we do not notice.


Prayer. Lord, help us to be attentive to all that happens around us. Help us to respond. Amen.
