WHO IS THIS JESUS?


PRAYER PAUSE


Friday 27 September, 2018


WHO IS THIS JESUS?


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading ”So who is this I hear such reports about?” And he was anxious to see Jesus,  (Luke 9:1-9)


Reflection. Who is Jesus?  Herod asked this question and people have been asking it ever since. Some of us were taught the answer in our catechism: “Jesus Christ is Son of God and Son of Mary.” We got the answer right and maybe movd on to the next catechism question.  But others we read of in the scriptures were not so easily satisfied.  Mary of Magdala, for instance, “sat at the feet of Jesus and listened to him.” She pondered deeply  in her heart who this person was. And the question remains for each generation.  Are we merely curious and easily satisfied with answers ?  Or do we long to understand and grow in a deep love for this person who loves us so much?  


Prayer. Lord, help us to know you better and love you more and follow you more closely. Amen
