Prayer of the Day:

Almighty God, your Son Jesus Christ has taught us that what we do for the least of his brothers and sisters we do also for him: give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all, who gave up his life and died for us; yet lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

ABM PEW SHEET REFLECTION 2017

The tides of white noise in our everyday lives have meant that many of us have cultivated a skill that stands in our way of being true disciples – selective hearing. How seldom we truly and deeply listen to others!

Jesus in this Gospel account says to us, ‘Let anyone with ears listen!’ before rebuking an unrepentant generation. Jesus then challenges us to heed his call to himself, to seek rest for our world–wearied souls.

The ocean of white noise rushes over us, crashing and splashing, very nearly drowning out Jesus’ call from the shore for rest. Sometimes God speaks to us through the words of others, if only we would listen.

Pray that we will have ears to hear over the white noise, and courage in obedience to his call on our lives.
