PRAYER PAUSE (Let me suspend these reflections till I get my eye settled..
I cannot see what I am writing!)

A
GREAT PROPHET
Pause. Enter into the stillness
of God within.
Reading: “A great prophet has
appeared among us; God has visited his people.” (Luke 7:11-17)
Reflection. You would imagine that such
a response from the people would be the biginningof faith and a close following
of Jesus. But the accounts in the gospels show how shallow and fickle their engagement
with him was. Jesus suspected his ministry in Galilee. He knew the heart of his
mission would be in Jeruslame and the cross. Would people then acclaim him?
Where would their enthusiasm be?
Prayer. Lord, help us to engage
with you at a deep level where you struggle against the forces of evil in our
world. Amen.
