FILLED
WITH JOY
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading ”It was at that time that,
filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, “I bless you Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, for hiding these things fromt the learned and clever and revealing
them to mere children’”(Luke 10:-17-24)
Reflection. We are familiar with Jesus,
the man of sorrows and our world is full of sorrows. But we also get glimpses in the gospel of him
fllled with joy. Here is one occasion and
he looks into the future and sees the fruits of the germinating of the faith of
his few disciples.. This cause, this mission, is begun. It will not be
stopped. It will grow until in includes
all creation in the joy of fulfilment that Jesus now senses. All the images of seeds and grain sof wheat point
to a time where God’s kingdom will be revealed.
As we look around today we see plenty to mourn. But we also see much to be excited about,
much to rejoice over..
Prayer. Lord, fill us too with the joy of
the gospel as your purpose reveals itself day by day. Amen.
