THE CLOUD

PRAYER PAUSE

THE CLOUD


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “The cloud covered the Tent and the glory of the Lord filled th Tabernacle.” (Exodus40:16…38)



Reflection. The presence of God among the journeying Israelites was in the form of a cloud. It was constantly there. It only appeared once in the gospels as God was present among them in the person of Jesus.Today the cloud is no longer visible but it is there in the sense of the hidden presence of God among us. A presence real but invisible. The cloud is there to guide our journey. It is constantly with us.We are called to see it and to see through it – as the author of the fourteenth century Cloud of Unknowing would have us do.


Prayer. Lord Jesus, you are constantly with us. Give us eyes to penetrate and to see. Amen.
