Pray For

Posted on February 24, 2012 by Fr. Jos+

Jesus continued to pray for people even beyond the horizons he was familiar with or used to, or for that matter comfortable with. In that bunch were people who were thinking of killing him, conniving against him and obstructing the justice of God. Jesus prayed for those who will understand him and follow him as well. But more, he prayed for those that were not in the bunch.

Praying for people beyond our imagination is not an easy thing to do. For example those who think of harming you, your family, and your country. Pray for those that are not in your bunch today and pray for those that are away for whatever be the reason. People are away not in body many times. They are away for reasons only known to us and not to them. It can be a misunderstanding, fear, anger, disappointment caused or whatever. If you can go into the innermost hidden corners of your heart, you will find a way to see who needs your prayers today.

Action Plan: Take a three minutes break. Close your eyes, and think about those whom you have shut down for reasons that you don’t wish to talk about to a confessor, priest, preacher, friend or even your spouse. Pray for that person you would like to talk about least even to the one who is most dear to you. Pray for those that are not in your bunch in the minutes of silence and then Lent will be on.

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
