COME AND BE HEALED ON WEEK-DAYS


PRAYER PAUSE

COME AND BE HEALED ON WEEK-DAYS


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading ”There are six days when work is to be fone.  Come on one of those  and not on the Sabbath.” (Luke 13:10-17)


Reflection. When the synagogue official said these words there must have been an outburst of laughter.  Imagine a notice at the entrance to a hospital COME ON WEEKDAYS ONLY. Luke is ridiculing the attitude of those who would not budge from theirstance of tight control of the social political order.  Any breach, any suggestion of change and the whole thing would come crasking down.  Jesus had not come to detroy but to help people change and see that their traditional ways were only a preparation fo something much better, something that would bring them true freedom.  But the controllers wouldn’t budge.


Prayer. Lord, help us break down the barriers in ourselves and in our society that oppose change and development. Amen.
