THE SERVANT OF CHRIST’S MISSION


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.
