I SAW A HUGE MUMBER

Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading ”After that I saw a huge number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language.” (Revelations 7:2-11)

Reflection. November 1 is a moment to think about the nillions who have inhabited and will inhabit this earth. They are “impossible to count.” Theses are God’s people, destined to live with him in a way that totally fulfils their deepest lomgings.  We are that people and the Lord has given us a time and a place to live where we can prepare, personally and as a people, bound to one anotrhe,  We are to work at this astonishing project  and rejoice in the striving of millions so that we all achieve this goal.

Prayer. Lord, as we rejoice with those who have gone before us we ask that we too will be “of that number” and  will use our time now to prepare the way. Amen.
