YOUR KINGDOM COME

PRAYER PAUSE  


Wednesday 11 October 2017, John XXIII


YOUR KINGDOM COME


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.” (Luke 11:1-4)



Reflection. Luke’s short version of the Our Father highlights the coming kingdom. Longing for the appearance of the kingdom shows itself in welcoming every sign of it, every little bud. When young people at school settle their differences, when people in work places sort out their problems, when politicans manage to come to reconciliation and nations to international accords – all these are signs of the kingdom. The Church is to be salt and light and each of us has our task. The kingdom of the Father will come when we lay hold of it, take it by storm. That is the burning desire of Jesus.  


Prayer. Our Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come. Amen.
