PRAYER PAUSE

YOU
PLACE YOUR HOPES ON MOSES
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “You place your hopes on
Moses, and Moses will be your accuser. If you really believed him you would
believe me too.” (John 5:31-47)
Reflection. The lines of confrontation
are emerging. For “the Jews” it is all words, words, words. They speak of
Moses, God, the Law, the Sabbath, but their hearts are not there. They cannot
see beyond the world they have created for themselves. This is not just an
ancient scenario. It is still with us. Jesus has come to confront it and rasise
us beyond ourselves and the limited world we have made. He draws us to the Father
but there is so much in us that resists.
Prayer. Lord, help us, as we
approach Holy Week, to confront the gravity in us that pulls us down. May we rise with you to the new life you draw
us to. Amen
