THE
HIDDEN WILL BE MADE CLEAR
Pause. Enter into the stillness
of God within.
Reading: “For nothing is hidden but
it will be made clear, nothing secret but it will be made known and brought to
light. So take care how you hear.” (Luke 8:16-18)
Reflection. I have the image of the
mighty Zambezi starting as a spring and finding its way through obstacles and
over rock until it grows into a might river and enters the sea. Nothing can
stop it. The truth Jesus has come to announce is unstoppable though people have
tried to block it. The gospel invites us to be part of the blossoming of truth
or else we will be left in the shallows and may dry up! Human beings have
resisted uncomfortable truths for centuries
but they are now being revealed. For instance; we are different –
sometimes in profund ways. For example, the sexual orientation of some people
is completely different from others. The nationsof the world take up different
stances on the issues of homosexuality. But today we recognise the issue will
not “go away”. It must be faced. The “secret” is out and the dignity of people
is at stake. So, “take care how you hear.”
Prayer. Lord, help us to face the
truth we meet each day. Give us the wisdom and courage to to welcome what you
reveal to us through others. Amen.
