LET IT BE DONE

PRAYER PAUSE  


Wednesday 20 December 2017


LET IT BE DONE


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: Let what you have said be done to me.”  (Luke 1:36-48)



Reflection. Our pair of texts today are those of 25 March, the Annunciation. They recall the moment when God invited Mary to stretch her heart, her imagination, so as to welcome his astonishing plan. That plan was something that Mary received: she did not think it up herself. It was totally God’s doing: he reaches out to those able to receive him and he stretches their hearts so that their capacity for him grows and grows. In these days before Christmas we recall that remnant of Israel – Zachariah, Elizabeth, Joseph and especially Mary – who were able to receive the plan, some falteringly, others wholeheartedly.


Prayer. Lord, help us to reeive, with all our hearts, your coming into our hearts, our families, our world. Amen.
