The Gospel of the day for Monday
of the 23rd Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 6:1-11
A Brief Synopsis:
Jesus is teaching in the
synagogue. A man is there who has a withered hand. Jesus calls him forward and
he stands before the Lord, who commands: Stretch
out your hand. The man does so and his hand is completely restored.
Reflection:
Could it be that the Lord is
calling you today to
STRETCH OUT?
In what way? Take a slow careful
look at the state of your being this day, and see if his command addresses any
part within you. Ask him for help that you might see. And if you do identify something
that is withered within you, ask Him to help you stretch it out in a way which
is appropriate for you at this time in your life.
Consider also these questions
posed by Steve Taylor in his meditative book “The Calm Center”:
How will you
know how strong you are unless your strength is tested?
How will you
know how deep you are unless turmoil breaks your surface and forces you to
dive?
How will you
know what sleeps inside until the whole of you is challenged to wake up?
God bless you!
