PRAYER PAUSE
Friday 1 September 2017, Care of
Creation Day
FIVE WERE
FOOLISH, FIVE WERE WISE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The kingdom of heaven will be like
this … Five of them were foolish and five of them were wise.” (Matthew 25:1-13)
Reflection. Five out of ten people on the planet
are aware of the dangers of global warming and in small ways and big they are
doing something about it – even if it is just thinking beforte throwing away
their plastic. The other five carry on oblivious to the dangers – hurricanes,
floods, droughts and fires, Some – the President of the United States, for
instance, - seem intent on denying there is a problem and they actively pursue
a course that will make matters worse. Our response to climate change is part
of our response to the kingdom Jesus announced.
We either welcome it or turn out back on it. It is all very practical
and effects our daily lives.
Prayer. Lord, make us deepl aware how
everything is linkd ad interdependent; our daily way of living and out prayer
and hopes for the future. Amen.
