INTERPRETING THESE TIMES


PRAYER PAUSE


Friday 26 October 2018


INTERPRETING THESE TIMES


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading ”You know how to interpret the face of the earth and the sky.  How is it you do not know how to interpret these times?” (Luke 12:54-59)


Reflection. The whole life of Jesus is one urgent drive to get across to people that a new age has come: an age of fulfilment of all their deepest hopes and desires. There is now an opportunity to bring to birth the hidden, unformed, confused longings  of the heart. “Our hearts are restles …” But,  “Come to me and you will find rest.”  Yet we are often satisfied with a superficial non-threatening interpretation.   What the saints do is to show us the radical nature of what Jesus is calling us to.  We cannot get there by our efforts alone.  He promises to show us the Way.


Prayer. Lord, help us to follow the way you are inviting us. Amen.
