MY GREETINGS!

PRAYER PAUSE  


Saturday 11 November 2017, Martin


MY GREETINGS!


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers on Christ Jesus” (Romans 16:1-8)



Reflection. Our last exerpt from Romans is a list of greetings to all those in Rome whom Paul knew and worked with. There is a warm bond of affection he has discovered and enjoyed over many years with these “fellow workers”. They are his new family, reminding us of Jesus’ reaction to those who told him “Your mother and brothers are looking for you.” He replied, “Who are they? My mothers and brothers are these who are doing the will of my Father.” They are bonded with me “in the revelation of a mystery kept secret for endless ages but now clear … and it is to be broadcast to bring all to the obedience of faith.”


Prayer. Lord, we give thanks for all those who journey with us in faith and for the way we share our interests, hopes and disappointments. Give us joy and courage as we continue on the road. Amen.
