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
