CHARIOT OF FIRE

PRAYER PAUSE  


Saturday 16 December 2017


CHARIOT OF FIRE


Enter into the stillness of God within.



Reading: Elijah was “taken up in the whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses; designated in the prophesies of doom to allay God’s wrath before the fury breaks..”  (Sirah 48:1…11)




Reflection. Moses gave the law; Elijah called Israel to follow it. He provoked them to decide: are you for or against? And now John the Baptist does the same: ‘Israel, will you receive the Messiah or will you reject him?’ And the question echoes down to us today. Are we for or against? There needs to be a decision – whole hearted with a love expressed in action. Advent, once again, calls us to this. It is a blessed time.


Prayer. Lord, may we deepen our commitment and our love this Advent time! May we be people who witness to the promise! Amen.
