THE HIDDEN WILL BE MADE CLEAR

PRAYER PAUSE  


Monday 2 September 2017


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.
