PRAYER PAUSE

TAKE AN
ANIMAL FROM THE FLOCK
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “You must take an animal from the
flock … an animal without blemish … the community of Israel shall slaughter it.”
(Exodus 11:10-14)
Reflection. This is the reading for Holy
Thursday. Centred on the lamb without blemish which is offered in sacrifice, it
powerfully opens the imagination to the climax events of Jesus’ life and his
plan for the coming of the reign of God. One of us, he gave himself in the
struggle against evil and created a bond with us that would endure through all
our big and little struggles - forever. We become part of the power and love of
his act each time we participate in the Eucharist where he continues to offer
himself for the great purpose.
Prayer. Lord, we want to unite ourselves
with your offering for the transforming of the world so that it reflects the
reign of God. Amen.
