PRAYER PAUSE
Wednesday 24 October 2018, Zambia
Independence Day
THE SERVANT
OF CHRIST’S MISSION
Enter into
the stillness of God within.
Reading ”I have been made the servant of the
gospel by a gift of grace from God.” (Ephesians 3:2-12)
Reflection. We are completely dependent for the
Good News – or any good news – on the commitment of others to us. In prison I meet people who seem to have no
idea that there is another world other than the drudgery and fear which are
their constant compamions. Today is
Zambia’s 54th Independence Day and the reflection naturally arises why does it
take so long for the good news of freedom to enter the spirit of people? There
is another bridge to cross before the external freedom gained on 24 October
1964 becomes rooted in a confidence that
demands and struggles for a society that is truly just. Those of us who know something
of the Good News are called to hasten that day,
Prayer. As we celebrate the gift of
freedom,Lord, help us commit ouselves to creating it in reality in or society.
Amen.
