WHAT ABOUT US?


PRAYER PAUSE

WHAT ABOUT US?


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading:  “What about us?” Peter asked Jesus, “We have left everything and followed you.”  (Mark 10:28-31)



Reflection. The life of a Christian is the journey to eliminate this question. It is hard to imagine it on the lips of Paul at the end of his life.  The new born child is full of needs.  As we grow older we may find ourselves saying, “What do I get out of this?”  “What is in it for me?”  But then we discover others and their needs and this becomes more important than any thought of self.  And as we progress further we discover something of the wonder of God who is greater than anything we can imagine and “holds all things in being.” We begin to be insignificant in our own eyes..  “He must increase and I must decrease,” John the Baptist was to say at the end of his ministry.  The movement from self to others to God is the fulfilment of our life.  


Prayer. Lord, may we grow in wonder at your approach.  You come to meet us in the midst of our concerns.  May we welcome you!  Amen
