15th August 2018 Wednesday 19th Week of Ordinary Time - The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Reflection
Revelation 11:19,12:1-6,10, 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, Luke 1:39-56
“A Moment of Togetherness”
Today’s passage is a passage about the gift of friendship. When Mary and Elizabeth met, they both found solace and comfort in each other’s presence.

We can identify ourselves with Mary and Elizabeth too. In moments when we feel misunderstood, fearful and confused, we have friends whom we can go to as places of solace and to be comforted again, be loved again, be affirmed again. We need friends in this journey of life.

Matthew 18:1-5 10, 12-14

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?" He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”

Introductory Prayer: Lord God, I believe you are present here with me as I begin this moment of prayer. I hope in you. I know that you will always take care of me. I want this time with you to be a sign of my love for you. I seek only to please you, without desiring any spiritual consolation for myself.
