PRAYER PAUSE

AN AWESOME
PLACE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Truly this is an awesome place … a
house of God and the gate of heaven.” (Genesis 28:10-22)
Reflection. This incidemt in our story in the OT
describes Jacob’s dream of a ladder to heaven with angels going up and down. He
is afraid because he has had sight for a moment of the reality that surrounds
us all the time but we do not often sense it. We are “connected” to God and
that is awesome by any account. Jacob’s response is to make his own personal
affirmation of the covenenat made with his father Isaac and his father Abraham.
He uses words resonant of the Our Father: ‘if God goes with me and gives me my
(daily) bread then the Lord shall be my God’. And he signs his commitment with
a stone..
Prayer. Lord, give us this day our daily
bread. Amen.
