EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR YOU

PRAYER PAUSE

EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR YOU


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: Simon and his companions set out in search of him, and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” (Mark 1:29-39)



Reflection. There is intense energy in this first chapter of Mark. “Everyone is looking for you.”And the searching goes on. Many today may not see it as a religious search but it is a search for meaning in their lives. Everyone, consciously or unconsciously is looking for God. Some are more aware of what they are doing and some – mystics and contemplatives - are intensely focused on the search. It is as though there are concentric circles and right at the centre are those whose whole life is given up to the search. We have a community of such contemplative sisters  near where I live and people are drawn to them, as elephants to oranges or bears to honey, for a hour or a day to share something of that taste for God.


Prayer. Lord, you said, “seek and you will find.” Teach us to search for you at every moment. Amen
