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
