Today is Thursday, the 13 June, the feast of St Anthony of Padua, in the Tenth Week of Ordinary Time.
Salt of the Sound sings, ‘Your Ways’. As you enter into prayer today, become aware of the ways of God, the activity of God in your life…
Today’s reading is from the Second Letter to the Corinthians.
‘All of us … are being transformed’, Paul says—he is excited, and we can almost imagine him breathless. How do you react—and be honest—to this kind of exuberance?
Paul talks about people not getting his message because there’s a veil, a fog as it were, over their minds. Can you think of people and situations that are somehow blocked off against the good news?
As you listen again, you might like to note Paul’s insistence that it’s not himself that he’s proclaiming, but Jesus Christ as Lord. And though he is telling his hearers what they ought to think, he is insisting that he is their slave for Christ’s sake.
Paul clearly felt driven to share his convictions. Imagine yourself on the receiving end of this sort of speech, and explore the effect his message might have on your sense of who you are before God.
