PREGO REFLECTION:
I come to my prayer gently. Perhaps I begin by making a
slow sign of the cross. I entrust myself to the power of the Holy Spirit
praying in me. I may wish to place myself in the Gospel scene as Jesus takes
the road to Jerusalem. Perhaps I am conscious of his determination as he walks?
I watch him as he beckons to me, inviting me to join him. How do I feel walking
alongside him? Have there been “roads” in my life that I would rather have
avoided? I see Jesus spurned by the people of Samaria. Can I recall a time of
rejection, when the way I walked was not approved by others? How did I react?
How does Jesus react? There are three people in the story who feel a desire to
live as Jesus asks. I ponder my own discipleship; the ways I try to respond to
the loving call of the King to follow his way of life. I ask the Lord, my King,
to help me I end my prayer, thanking the Lord for letting me walk with him
today.

WEEKLY
RAMBLINGS:
Greetings from Dublin on a Wednesday morning. I'm about to head off to attend a Three Day
Gathering of people to look at the 'The Role of the Church in a Pluralist
Society: Good Riddance or Good Influence?
I met an elderly gentleman (former University lecturer) at the
registration yesterday who was wondering whether anything would ever change.
We chatted over coffee (registration hadn't started - we
were both early) and as we talked I remembered the words that Fr Michael White
had spoken during his homily on the weekend I was in Baltimore - you can't
change people but you can influence them to change. Hopefully, the discussion
over the next few days will help me to see ideas that might help me to change
too that I can help influence others to change.
For anyone interested in what happened at the Divine
Renovation Conference (and who has been following my blog -
www.holidaysjune2016.blogspot.com.au) there is a short video on the website -
www.divine renovation.net - which gives a really good (short) version of the
Conference.
Managed to catch up with some friends and did some tourist
things in the North of Ireland this week including visiting the Giant's
Causeway and surrounding attractions. After the Conference I will be heading to
Port Laoise and then to Limerick for the weekend and the early part of next
week.
Take care on the roads and be a gift of love to each other.
